Can you really free yourself from the hatred?
Can you really experience the freedom that forgiveness brings?
To me,
it is NOT about we wish to forgive,
it is NOT about we hope to forgive,
it is NOT about we want to forgive,
it is NOT about we need to forgive,
but
it is about are you WILLING to forgive?......
Can you see yourself doing this to the one you HATE?!
When deep injury is done to us,
we never recover until we forgive...
Forgiveness does not change the past,
but it does enlarge the future.
