Forgiveness

Ken Hart

"Forgiveness does not equal forgetting. It is about healing the memory of the harm, not erasing it.”

acArthur

"Forgiveness unleashes joy. It brings peace. It washes the slate clean. It sets all the highest values of love in motion."

Henri Nouwen

"It is freeing to become aware that we do not have to be victims of our past and can learn new ways of responding.

But there is a step beyond this recognition... It is the step of forgiveness.

Forgiveness is love practiced among people who love poorly. It sets us free without wanting anything in return."

Dan Zadra

"Resentment is one burden that is incompatible with your success. Always be the first to forgive; and forgive yourself first always"

Catherine Ponder

"When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel.

Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.”

Robert Muller

"To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In
return, you will receive untold peace and happiness."

Catherine Ponder

"The forgiving state of mind is a magnetic power for
attracting good."

William H. Walton

"When we judge, we are pushing people away; we are creating a wall, a barrier.

When we forgive we are destroying barriers, we come closer to others."

Guy Finley

"There are those who will tell you why it is wise to never forget the pain of the past.

But if you look closely at the anger, sorrow, and bitterness that has hardened their faces, then you will also see why learning to forgive is the better of the two paths."

Hannah Moore

"Forgiveness is the economy of the heart ... forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits."

Catherine Ponder

"When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel.

Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free."
