“What is forgiving? Forgiving is giving up all claim on one who had hurt you and letting go of the emotional consequences of the hurt. How can we do that? It's done at the price of beating back our pride. By nature we are selfish. Forgiving, by definition, is unselfish. Being hurt by another person wounds our pride. Pride stands in the way of forgiving. We cannot forgive without God's help. It might be possible for us to forgive something inconsequential without God's help; but in significant matters, we are unlikely to accomplish anything without God's involvement in the process.” WayGivingPersonsMatterDoneHelpingMightProcessHurtEmotionalPrideLetting GoGiving UpConsequenceClaimsForgivingDefinitionsAccomplishSelfishWoundsSignificantBitternessUnlikelyInvolvementUnselfishWithout GodBeing HurtInconsequential Author:Richard Walters
“Not forgiving prolongs hurt and anger and leads to smoldering resentment, which will make us miserable until it kills us. Resentment destroys the perception of reality.

This eventually destroys our ability to cope successfully with life.” WorldTryingRealityUnderstandingHurtAbilityPerceptionForgivingMiserableSelfishnessBitternessResentmentAccurateAccommodateNot ForgivingUnderstanding The WorldPerception Reality Author:Richard Walters
