Hi! I would like to share some things that I've read from a RBC Ministries book ...... its quite useful

Abt True Forgiveness:

• Many things may irritate, annoy, or upset us abt someone else. Those things may require enduring; they do not involve forgiving.
• Forgiveness doesm't involve ignoring or denying sin, turning a blind eye to the misdeeds of another, or pretending it didn't happen.
• " Time heals clean wounds. Soiled wounds fester and infect.'"
• Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting to remember, but remembering to forget.
• Forgiveness is given; reconciliation is earned. Forgiveness cancels all debts, but it does not eliminate all consequences.
• Forgiveness may be a decision but it is not a one-time decision....
• '' To forgive for the moment is not difficult, but to go on forgiving, to forgive the same offense every time it recurs to the memory - that's the real tussle.''
