“Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.”
~ Marianne WilliamsonWhat Is Forgiveness?
Forgiveness is to release our anger and hurt so that we can experience what is possible for others or ourselves if we make amends. Forgiveness does not mean that we condone the behavior of the offender. Rather it means that we value our healing more than we value the need to be right, even if we are. When we forgive, no matter how difficult, we experience freedom to fulfill our potential. Forgive others, ask for forgiveness and forgive yourself because peace cannot exist without forgiveness.
