Forgiveness does not take the pain away
It does not necessarily change a situation
Forgiveness will bring freedom…
Freedom to move forward
Freedom to let go
Freedom to not have to change another person
Forgiveness releases me from coming up with 101 ways to get back at the one who did me wrong
Forgiveness is hard work
Forgiveness is exhausting, yet not forgiving is even more exhausting
Forgiveness is a gift to yourself and to the world
Without forgiveness there can be no freedom
