Some thoughts on FORGIVENESS.... from Lewis B. Smedes - Forgive & Forget: Healing the Hurts We Dont Deserve: Forgiveness is Gods invention for coming to terms with a world in which, despite their best intentions, people are unfair to each other and hurt each other deeply. He began by forgiving us. And he invites us all to forgive each other. You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well. You can forgive someone almost anything. But you cannot tolerate everything...We dont have to tolerate what people do just because we forgive them for doing it. Forgiving heals us personally. To tolerate everything only hurts us all in the long run. and last but not least: Gandhi was right: if we all live by an eye for an eye the whole world will be blind. The only way out is forgiveness. and, in lighter vain, but it hits home anyway..... Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much.” – Oscar Wilde and now for one of my favourite quotes on forgiveness: “To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.”
