You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well.
– Lewis B. Smedes
To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.
– Lewis B. Smedes
It takes one person to forgive, it takes two people to be reunited.
– Lewis B. Smedes
Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future.
