#forgiveness

"We will not be able to find peace if our minds are burning with the fires of resentment. Let us forgive and forget to create peace."

"With friends, if you keep making an effort to reach out and you keep getting hurt, you eventually stop trying. But it's much harder to give up on family. Somewhere deep down you want it to work so badly that you keep making the same mistake over and over again."

"Love is forgiving, accepting, moving on, embracing, and all encompassing. And if you’re not doing that for yourself, you cannot do that with anyone else."

"It is important that we forgive ourselves for making mistakes. We need to learn from our errors and move on."

"The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward."

"Life is grace. Sleep is forgiveness. The night absolves. Darkness wipes the slate clean, not spotless to be sure, but clean enough for another day's chalking."

"Be the one who nurtures and builds. Be the one who has an understanding and a forgiving heart one who looks for the best in people. Leave people better than you found them."

"I used to think how lucky she was to have me, but now I realize that’s backwards. A spirit of gratitude yields patience, love, and forgiveness."

"God is the ultimate judge of what is truly in our souls. But we are requiered to forgive everyone."

"This year I vow to learn how to garden. I will be the Farmer of Love and grow in understanding and forgiveness."

"Our forgiving love toward men is the evidence of God's forgiving love in us. It is a necessary condition of the prayer of faith."

"To stop war, teach peace, love, cooperation, and most of all—forgiveness."

"Compassion crowns the soul with its truest victory."

"There is hope in forgiveness"

"Unforgiveness denies the victim the possibility of parole and leaves them stuck in the prison of what was, incarcerating them in their trauma and relinquishing the chance to escape beyond the pain."

"Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient."
