Quotes About Forgiveness

Sharon: innocent freckle-faced red-haired good Sharon : I was a vicious, vengeful compulsive BRUTE to you at school. 30+ years on-Now I'm very sorry

Until the day my father died, he couldn't let go of a wrong in his life until he made it right—first with God and then with others. I learned from my father that unconfessed sin in believers' hearts hinders their walk, their talk, and their service to God. But when it is settled with God, He restores joy and fellowship.
~ Franklin Graham
Karena Tuhan memberi saya hati yang riang, Ia akan memaafkan saya karena saya berbakti kepadaNya dengan jiwa yang riang.

Gregor's serious wound, from which he suffered for over a month - the apple remained imbedded in his flesh as a visible souvenir since no one dared to remove it - seemed to have reminded even his father that Gregor was a member of the family, in spite of his present pathetic and repulsive shape, who could not be treated as an enemy; that, on the contrary, it was the commandment of the family duty to swallow their disgust and endure him, endure him and nothing more.
~ Franz Kafka

~ Franz Kafka
Your room was slightly disturbed today, and in a sense it was my fault; it was done by strangers and against my will, and yet, as I say, it was my fault; that's why I wanted to ask your pardon for.
~ Franz Kafka

~ Franz Kafka
My father was a wildfire. Really. Nobody could save him from anything. His family turned away from him, and he broke up with his first wife. It just happened to be that when he was going to get back up on his feet, my mother was there.
~ John Carter Cash
We have to be willing to give up all the injustices of the past that did exist - and that do exist right now. When we become interested in liberation, we then become interested in that which transcends time.

You can survive tough situations and even turn them to your advantage by acting as if you are the person you want to be. When you act like that person, you can become that person. The hard parts are deciding whom you want to become, being willing to rehearse until you become that person, and forgiving yourself until you do.
~ Bernie Siegel

Jesus went to the cross for sins He didn't commit. Hello! You can carry a grudge just thinking about that, but don't do it. He knew what He was doing. It was His choice, and He did it willingly. It was the will of the Father, and He always did the will of God without complaint. So what is it that we have to complain about?

~ Jordan Clarkson
Because forgiveness is like this: a room can be dank because you have closed the windows, you've closed the curtains. But the sun is shining outside, and the air is fresh outside. In order to get that fresh air, you have to get up and open the window and draw the curtains apart.
~ Desmond Tutu
I think that at the supper I neither receive flesh nor blood, but bread and wine; which bread when it is broken, and the wine when it is drunken, put me in remembrance how that for my sins the body of Christ was broken, and his blood shed on the cross.
~ Jane Grey
I'll have wine or a piece of cake once in a while, but I don't look at it as sliding backwards, even if I go a whole week without working out. I don't dwell on it and beat myself up - I just try to have a healthier day tomorrow.
