Forgiveness Is Essential In Finding The Light Of Life
Forgiveness Quotes allow you a glimpse of the ever
so important act of forgiving those that have wronged you at some point.
Forgiveness is an essential part of living life to the fullest
and in so doing we actually help ourselves as much as those that we are forgiving.
Forgiveness Quotes"Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
just as God through Christ has forgiven you."
-Ephesians 4:32
“Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting.”
-William Arthur Ward
“The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves:
We do unto others as we do unto ourselves.
We hate others when we hate ourselves.
We are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves.
We forgive others when we forgive ourselves.
We are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.”
-Eric Hoffer
“In the Bible it says they asked Jesus how many times you should forgive,
and he said 70 times 7. Well, I want you all to know that I'm keeping a chart.”
-Hillary Rodham Clinton
“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”
-Mahatma Gandhi
“Forgiveness is not an emotion, it's a decision.”
-Randall Worley
“Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another.”
-Jean Paul Richter
Last but not least, which I find the most meaningful:
“In the long run, it's not a question of whether they deserve to be forgiven.
You're not forgiving them for their sake. You're doing it for yourself.
For your own health and well-being, forgiveness is simply the most energy-efficient option.
It frees you from the incredibly toxic, debilitating drain of holding a grudge.
Don't let these people live rent free in your head.
If they hurt you before, why let them keep doing it year after year in your mind?
It's not worth it but it takes heart effort to stop it.
You can muster that heart power to forgive them as a way of looking out for yourself.
It's one thing you can be totally selfish about.”
-Doc Childre and Howard Martin, The HeartMath Solution
