We judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their actions

If I do not give a friend "The benefit of the doubt," but put the worst construction instead of the best on what is said or done, then I know nothing of Calvary love.

Forgiveness is choosing to love.

When we forgive and let go, not only does a huge weight drop off your shoulders, but the doorway to your own self-love opens.

When we judge others we leave no room to love them.

Forgiveness should go hand-in-hand with love.

Parents are in a position to forgive when they remember two things. One, the child that I am rearing is God's child. God loved the child before I did; He will continue this love long after I am gone. Two, God's method of dealing with sin, even the most destructive kind, is forgiveness. I am not going to be able to improve on God's methods.

If you have anything against someone, forgive — only then will your heavenly Father be inclined to also wipe your slate clean of sins.

It is a lie that our anger justifies our impulse to hurt or ignore our antagonists. We are to forgive to be forgiven. To wait for them to repent before we forgive and repent is to allow them to choose for us a delay which could cost us happiness here and hereafter.

is there not an Arabick Proverb which goes, 'No one throws Stones at a Barren Tree'?

Many people are reluctant to show mercy because they don't understand the difference between trust and forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of the past. Trust has to do with future behavior.

All sins, except a sin against itself, Love should forgive. All lives, save loveless lives, true Love should pardon.
