“Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.” Paul Boese

“Forgive one another as God has forgiven you.” Eph.4
I have read that forgiveness is like the ringing of a tower bell. You forgive when you stop pulling the rope, but the bell in the tower keeps ringing for a while. We may never forget the injury, but we can still forgive it if only by changing the way we view it. We remember not so much the hurt, but we remember the act of forgiving it. Do not bring up the past injury but your past decision to pardon it. Conversations Within” ts 2/21/2013 (Birmingham, AL)
