The First And Often Only Person To

I Worry About Fast Forgivers. They Tend To Forgive Quickly In Order To Avoid Their Pain. Or They Forgive Fast In Order To Get An Advantage Over The People They Forgive. And Their Instant Forgiving Only Makes Things Worse... People Who Have Been Wronged Badly And Wounded Deeply Should Give Themselves Time And Space Before They Forgive... There Is A Right Moment To Forgive. We Cannot Predict It In Advance; We Can Only Get Ourselves Ready For It When It Arrives... Don't Do It Quickly, But Don't Wait Too Long.

We Feel Guilty For What We Do. We Feel Shame For What We Are.

God Invented Forgiving As A Remedy For A Past That Not Even He Could Change And Not Even He Could Forget. His Way Of Forgiving Is The Model For Our Forgiving.

When I Feel The Joy Of Receiving A Gift My Heart Nudges Me To Join Creation's Ballet, The Airy Dance Of Giving And Receiving, And Getting And Giving Again.

Our History Is An Inevitable Component Of Our Being. One Thing Only Can Release Us From The Grip Of Our History. That One Thing Is Forgiveness.
