Forgiveness

I realized today that I need to forgive someone. I was so unhappy about the situation that I was blinded by own principles and standards and not see the person.

I found these quotations that speak to me. They are from Lewis B. Smedes, a renowned Christian author, ethicist and theologian.

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.

You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well.

It takes one person to forgive, it takes two people to be reunited.

The Holy Spirit, thank God, often enables people to forgive even though they are not sure how they did it.
