“We must forgive as we would be forgiven. To forgive does not simply mean to arrive at a place of indifference to those who do personal injury to us; it means far more than this. To forgive is to give for--to give some actual, definite good in return for evil given. One may say: "I have not a personal enemy in the world." And yet if, under any circumstances, any kind of "serves-him-right" thought springs up within you over anything that any of God’s children may do or suffer, you have not yet learned how to forgive.” — H.
