“..Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note – torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one” (Henry Ward Beecher). Never is God operating so strong in our lives as when we forego revenge and dare to forgive an injury. If you want to be more miserable hate somebody. Unforgiving does a great deal more damage to the vessel in which it is stored than the object in which it is poured.
To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you. The one guaranteed formula for limiting your potential is unforgiving. Hate, bitterness and revenge are luxuries none of us can afford. Life is an adventure in forgiveness, forgive..!
