THE ART OF FORGIVING
The most creative power given to the human spirit is the power to heal the
wounds of a past it cannot change.
We do our forgiving alone inside our hearts and minds; what happens to the
people we forgive depends on them.
The first person to benefit from forgiving is the one who does it.
Forgiving happens it three stages:
we rediscover the humanity of the person who wronged us;
we surrender our right to get even;
and we wish that person well.
Forgiving is a journey;
the deeper the wound,
the longer the journey.
Forgiving does not require us to reunite with the person who broke our trust.
We do not forgive because we are supposed to; we forgive when we are ready to
be healed.
Waiting for someone to repent before we forgive is to surrender our future to
the person who wronged us.
Forgiving is not a way to avoid pain but to heal the pain.
Forgiving someone who breaks a trust does not mean that we give him his job
back.
Forgiving is the only way to be fair to ourselves.
Forgivers are not doormats;
to forgive a person is not a signal
that we are willing to put up with with what he does.
Forgiving is essential; talking about it is optional.
When we forgive, we set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner we set
free is us.
When we forgive we walk in stride with the forgiving God.

"We always have enough to be happy if we are enjoying what we do have and not
worrying about what we don't have (Ken Keyes, Jr)."
I depend on You, Jesus Christ, my Protector and Helper.
I trust in You. I have faith and do not despair. I trust in You, Lord.
You make me glad. I praise You with joyful songs. (Psalms 33:20, 27:14, 28:7)
