Notable Quoteables
“Forgiveness is both a decision and a process.”

“Forgiveness is not made possible by our determination."

"Forgiveness is made possible with our cooperation with what God has already done.”

“I forgive Art for breaking our marriage vows. And whatever my feelings don’t yet allow for, the blood of Jesus will surely cover.”

“Staying here, blaming them, and forever defining your life by what they did will only increase the pain. Worse, it will keep projecting out onto others. The more our pain consumes us, the more it will control us. And sadly, it’s those who least deserve to be hurt whom our unresolved pain will hurt the most.” 

 “Forgiveness releases our need for retaliation, not our need for boundaries.”

“Hardened hearts have such a propensity to get shattered. Soft hearts don’t as easily break”

“Living in the comfort of peace is so much better than living in the constraints of unforgiveness.”
