I also need this quote this week. I have someone that I guess I should forgive for doing a lot of crap to me on purpose to hurt me and my family. Over and over and over again. I guess I should forgive her but I will never forget anything she has done and I will never trust her again. But I know I can forgive!!0

Oh just came across some very cool and powerful quotes on this very topic!
To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you.—Unknown
He who cannot forgive breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass.--George Herbert
Resentment is like a glass of poison that a man drinks; then he sits down and waits for his enemy to die.—Unknown
Many people are afraid to forgive because they feel they must remember the wrong or they will not learn from it. The opposite is true. Through forgiveness, the wrong is released from its emotional stranglehold on us so that we can learn from it. Through the power and intelligence of the heart, the release of forgiveness brings expanded intelligence to work with the situation more effectively. -- David McArthur & Bruce McArthur
Forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, and the waste of spirit. --Hannah More
You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well. --Lewis B. Smedes
Never does the human soul appear so strong as when it foregoes revenge, and dares forgive an injury. --E. H. Chapin
There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness.-- Josh Billings OH!! Nice one!:bigsmile:
Forgiveness is choosing to love. It is the first skill of self-giving love. --Mahatma Gandhi

We all have the means to bestow on others the most lavish gifts; love, joy, peace, hope, kindness, acceptance, encouragement, laughter, forgiveness, time. There is not enough money to buy them and not too little money to give them. The more you spend, the wealthier you become; yet nothing will cost you more than what you freely possess to give.

"Not to forgive is to be imprisoned by the past, by old grievances that do not permit life to proceed with new business. Not to forgive is to yield oneself to another's control... to be locked into a sequence of act and response, of outrage and revenge, tit for tat, escalating always. The present is endlessly overwhelmed and devoured by the past. Forgiveness frees the forgiver. It extracts the forgiver from someone else's nightmare." - Lance Morrow0

Wow these are all so powerful. I found out first hand what forgiveness can do for the soul When I caught my husband cheating(for the 3rd time) and took his stuff to her house and kicked him out I was seething and this went on for months I was eaten up inside with anger and it felt like I was literally on fire inside constantly. One day in church the pastor preached on this very subject and it was as if God told me I needed to forgive not for him or her but for me. I went to their house that very afternoon and both were shocked to no end but I sat down with them and told them that I forgave them both and wished them well that I needed to be happy and deserved to let go of the feelings of worthlessness, hatred, and self doubt and that they were forgiven. They looked at me like I was plum crazy but I left there feeling lighter and my stomach stopped rolling and my body relaxed and I cried like never before at the relief I felt. So the Nelson Mandela quote really touched me. Thanks to you both for this reminder. I think I have forgiven others but not really myself. Guess that's something for me to pray about.:flowerforyou:

Uck! That's awful. I'm glad you were able to release that anger. You have undoubtably grown far more than they have. 0

Nope! Not me, not yet. My wound is too fresh... I think I'll let it fester a bit.:mad:0

Well, it's true that anger seems to give one an adrenelin rush of strength when needed. No emotion is useless, I guess 0

Forgiveness often isn't a one-time thing. It begins with a decision, but because memories or another set of words or actions may trigger old feelings, you may need to recommit to forgiveness over and over again. :flowerforyou:
Forgiveness takes away the power the other person continues to wield in your life. Through forgiveness, you choose to no longer define yourself as a victim. Forgiveness is done primarily for yourself, and less so for the person who wronged you. :flowerforyou:
ha! Boy did I ever need to find this today!:ohwell:
Funny isn't it how we find the things we need right when it's time! Love how that happens:blushing: :happy:

Well that makes two of us - you passed it on to me today when I needed it. I now see why forgiveness takes away the power, wish I had known it before. Thank all you so much.0 -
:flowerforyou: You're very welcome I'm glad you were able to find what you needed in it. I agree that taking the power out of others hands is pretty important in so many ways... It keeps us moving forward instead of staying stuck!:happy:Forgiveness often isn't a one-time thing.
