Therefore, let us put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, long-suffering; and let us prove our Christlikeness not only in our zeal for saving the lost but also in our relationships with others—forbearing and forgiving one another, even as the Lord forgave us.

Getting money is not all a man's business: to cultivate kindness is a valuable part of the business of life.

Kindness is in our power, even when fondness is not.

A wise man will make haste to forgive, because he knows the true value of time, and will not suffer it to pass away in unnecessary pain.

AFFABLE  (A'FFABLE)   adj.[affable, Fr. affabilis, Lat.]1. Easy of manners; accostable; courteous; complaisant. It is used of superiours. He was affable, and both well and fair spoken

He is a good man, who grieves rather for him that injures him, than for his own suffering; who prays for him, that wrongs him, forgiving all his faults; who sooner shews mercy than anger; who offers violence to his appetite, in all things endeavouring to subdue the flesh to the spirit. This is an excellent abbreviature of the whole duty of a christian.Taylor'sGuide to devotion.   

To forgive and forget means to throw away dearly bought experience.

Christ has no body now but yours, No hands, no feet on earth but yours, Yours are the eyes with which He looks Compassion on this world, Yours are the feet with which He walks to do good, Yours are the hands, with which He blesses all the world.

The man or woman who doesn't forgive has forgotten the price that Christ paid for them on the Cross.

If we don't risk being hurt, we cannot give unconditional love. Unconditional love gives others the right to hurt us.

Many are unable to function properly in their calling because of the wounds and hurts that offenses have caused in their lives. They are handicapped and hindered from fulfilling their full potential. Most often it is a fellow believer who has hurt them.

We construct walls when we are hurt to safeguard our hearts and prevent any future wounds. We become selective, denying entry to all we fear will hurt us. We filter out anyone we think owes us something. We withhold access until these people have paid their debts in full. We open our lives only to those we believe are on our side.
