I would like to share with you two simple truths: there is nothing that cannot be forgiven, and there is no one un-deserving of forgiveness.

But just as we do not forgive for others, we also do not forgive for God.

Peace always comes to those who choose to forgive.

Forgiveness is not a choice you make for someone else; it is a choice you make for yourself.

Ultimately, forgiveness is a choice we make, and the ability to forgive others comes from the recognition that we are all flawed and all human. We all have made mistakes and harmed others. We will again. We find it easier to practice forgiveness when we can recognize that the roles could have been reversed.

We choose to either walk the path of revenge and be bound to suffering, or take the path of forgiveness and be freed into healing.

The Holy Spirit has filled my heart too much for me to hold that grudge against you. Our God is too big for us to hate others.

We probably don't have to convince you that your spouse isn't perfect. No one is! But mistakes create opportunities for us to extend God's grace. Our willingness to forgive is one of the greatest evidences of Christ within us.

Any married man should forget his mistakes—there's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

Holding a grudge is never positive or appropriate.

We may not know how to forgive, and we may not want to forgive; but the very fact we say we are willing to forgive begins the healing practice.

Tolkien offers sympathy, surrender, friendship and, most of all, forgiveness.
