Doesn't do a body any good to withhold forgiveness. The devil is the only one who stands to gain anything

God knows I've needed enough forgivin' in my life. I love you, and love sometimes comes in pain as well as joy.

She didn't want to. She loved you. She loves you now. Yes, she hurt you and she made a terrible mistake in leaving you. But your father made mistakes, too, and you will, as well. We all make bad choices - decisions that would better be left to rot in the bottom of the barrel. But we can't undo them. We can only move forward.

Just remember, forgiveness is a way of setting yourself free of the bondage put on you by others. There is liberty to he had in it.

Often times we reach out to people who would rather not be reached. We love people who reject our love and would just as soon spit in our face, but Jesus asks us to go on loving--go on reaching. It's easy to love someone when they love us, but so much harder to love when we are treated poorly by that person.

So yeah, maybe this will be the rest of our lives. Pot roast and Diet Cokes and my parents making eyes at each other. As for those slaps and punches and hateful words, we'll just sweep those under the rug or wherever they can go.

And they don't worry about whether the potential client will take advantage of their generosity; they know that for every client that does, nine others will appreciate their generosity and start to see themselves as a client even before they formally decide to become one.

Love was above everything else, and there was no hatred in love, only the occasional mistake.

Only someone who can say 'I love you' is capable of saying 'I forgive you.

Break a pact. Accept forgiveness. Make a bet.
