“When an injustice happens, we want to be vindicated. People feel that if they forgive the person who hurt them, then they will continue to take advantage of them or not take responsibility for what they did wrong. If we're honest, we'll admit that we usually want the person who hurt us to pay for what they did. We can't get past this until we get the revelation that only God can pay us back. He is our Vindicator - He will heal and restore us if we will trust Him and forgive our enemies as He has told us to do.” PeopleIfsWantFeelsPersonsHappensPastHurtPayResponsibilityEnemyHonestAdvantageForgivingInjusticeHealRevelationsTaking ResponsibilityVindicated Author:Joyce Meyer
“I have been lately introduced to the famous Thomas Paine, and like him very well. He is vain beyond all belief, but he has reason to be vain, and for my part I forgive him. He has done wonders for the cause of liberty, both in America and Europe, and I believe him to be conscientiously an honest man. He converses extremely well; and I find him wittier in discourse than in his writings, where his humour is clumsy enough.” MenWritingBelieveWellsHas BeensReasonDoneEnoughAmericaBeliefI BelieveCausesLibertyWonderHonestHumourEuropeForgivingVainDiscourseHonest ManConversesClumsyPaine Book:The Autobiography of Theobald Wolfe Tone. 1763-1798; Ed. with an Introduction by R.
