All disease, all unhappiness, come from the violation of the law of love. Man's boomerangs of hate, resentment and criticism, come back laden with sickness and sorrow.

Another weakness found in altogether too many people is the habit of measuring everything, and everyone, by their own impressions and beliefs.

Never judge someone by their relatives.

Forgiveness is a tough thing. Both in the offering…and the accepting.

One of the Bible studies her group had gone through contained a whole section on forgiveness and how important it was. It asked, if we truly possess forgiveness from God, can we give that forgiveness to others? And if you're not ready to forgive another person, can you really say you're ready to be forgiven by God?

No matter how you spin it, forgiveness is costly. Regardless of how big or small the offense, canceling a debt and absorbing the cost is going to hurt. But the parable shows us that not forgiving also has a price, and it is higher than the price forgiveness demands.

Whitefolks said he was a witch doctor, but they said that so they wouldn't have to say he was smart. A hunter's hunter that's what he was. Smart as they come. Taught me two lessons I lived by all my life. One was the secret of kindness from white people —they had to pity a thing before they could like it. The other--- oh well, I forgot it." Joe Trace

Forgiveness is first and foremost a decision. It doesn't begin with an emotion. It is not contingent on how you feel

Life is too short to sit around and hold grudges; it doesn't make any sense to do it.

Unforgiveness imprisons our souls and opens the door to evil spirits in us. In my experience, unforgiveness is the number one reason why Christians are oppressed.

Forgive everyone for your own sins and be sure to tell them you love them which you do.

If the other person injures you, you may forget the injury; but if you injure him you will always remember.
