“Forgiving is love's toughest work, and love's biggest risk. If you twist it into something it was never meant to be, it can make you a doormat or an insufferable manipulator.

“Forgiving is the ultimate source of peace, healing and inner happiness.”
“Forgiving is tough. Excusing is easy. What a mistake it is to confuse forgiving with being mushy, soft, gutless, and oh, so understanding. Before we forgive, we stiffen our spine and we hold a person accountable. And only then, in tough-minded judgment, can we do the outrageously impossible thing: we can forgive.”
“Forgiving is, first of all, a way of helping yourself to get free of the unfair pain somebody caused you.”
Source: Days of Grace Through the Year
“Forgiving is...recognizing the injury, owning the pain, & reaching out.”
“Forgiving isn't something you do for someone else. It's something you do for yourself. It's saying, 'You're not important enough to have a stranglehold on me.' It's saying, 'You don't get to trap me in the past. I am worthy of a future.”
“Forgiving lavishly does not mean that we continue to place ourselves in harm's way. The Bible takes great pains to address the dangers of keeping company with those who perpetually harm others. Those who learn nothing from their past mistakes are termed fools. While we may forgive the fool for hurting us, we do not give the fool unlimited opportunity to hurt us again. To do so would be to act foolishly ourselves. When Jesus extends mercy in the Gospels, he always does so with an implicit or explicit, "Go and sin no more." When our offender persists in sinning against us, we are wise to put boundaries in place. Doing so is itself an act of mercy toward the offender. By limiting his opportunity to sin against us, we spare him further guilt before God. Mercy never requires submission to abuse, whether spiritual, verbal, emotional, or physical.”

“Forgiving others is something we give ourselves every day.”
Source: Waldmeer
“Forgiving others seems an easy task when compared to the trial of forgiving oneself, especially when the fault cannot be undone, and the consequences continue to mar the lives of innocent others. Regret, tears, and apologies do nothing to ease the guilt. Even the deepest, sincerest remorse will not erase the damage. How can he think to forgive himself under such circumstances? How can he bear even a moment of peace and happiness when the innocent feel none? It is unfair. It is wrong. It is why he will forever see himself as unforgivable.”

“Forgiving ourselves and learning from our inevitable mistakes transforms failure from a stumbling block into a stepping stone.”
“Forgiving ourselves for all the woulda-shoulda-couldas in life, and sometimes forgiving others for actions that we feel undercut or undermine our good, can be very challenging. But forgiveness of the past and mistakes, our own mistakes as well as the mistakes of others, is imperative if we are to dwell fully in the present and experience the miracles that are only available to the forgiving and loving mind.”
“Forgiving people are less likely to be hateful, depressed, hostile, anxious, angry, and neurotic.”

“Forgiving presupposes remembering.”
“Forgiving presupposes remembering. And it creates a forgetting not in the natural way we forget yesterday's weather, but in the way of the great "in spite of" that says: I forget although I remember. Without this kind of forgetting no human relationship can endure healthily. I don't refer to a solemn act of asking for and offering forgiveness. Such rituals as sometimes occur between parents and children, or friends, or man and wife, are often acts of moral arrogance on the one part and enforced humiliation on the other. But I speak of the lasting willingness to accept him who has hurt us.”
“Forgiving somebody who is not contrite is removing the root of bitterness before the poison sets in.”
Source: Daddy's Little Girl: A Father's Prayer
“Forgiving someone does not mean you condone their behavior. The act of forgiveness takes place in your own mind. It really has nothing to do with the other person. The reality of true forgiveness lies in setting ourselves free from holding on to the pain. It is simply an act of releasing yourself from the negative energy.”
“Forgiving someone else is an act of love – maybe not for them, but definitely for you. You don’t have to like
them anymore or ever associate with them again. Or, if they’ve died, you can still be upset about their
absence. But carrying a grudge or being resentful only robs what time we have left of its pleasure.
Forgiveness is self-love. It is caring for your own soul. And it is the kindest gesture you can make to
yourself.”
Source: Mystic Harmony
“Forgiving someone is to give them a second chance. If someone forgives you, don't wast it. You probably won't get a third chance. - The Malwatch”
“Forgiving someone isn't just about doing good to another. It's also about healing a scar in your own heart.”
“Forgiving someone who fooled you is one of the hardest things. Especially when it’s someone you truly respected. You keep fighting between anger and empathy between hurting them back and understanding that we all make mistakes. But forgiveness isn’t about them. It’s about freeing yourself. It’s a long, emotional loop where some days you will hate them and some days you will understand them.”

It's tough to navigate through the channels of hurt and anger, but once you find that forgiveness channel, it's like tuning into the most soothing melody.

Who knows, it might just become a binge-worthy series you never want to turn off!”
