Thought for the day July 11, 2017
Last Update: July 11, 2017

Strength doesn’t come from holding grudges or resentments. Holding grudges doesn’t make you strong; it makes you bitter. Forgiving doesn’t make you weak; it sets you free. Remember forgiving is healing and when you let things go you experience growth. Have a forgiving heart today

Forgiveness is good. It does not cost you anything. Even in the LORD'S Prayer, it is mention there.

Peter,
Very nice post and also what is really hard to do is Forgiving and Forgetting.
Thank you,

yep the forgetting part is really hard - but the forgiving is the most important for your healing - not the people you are forgiving
