The Problem With Revenge Is That It

Can You Stop Your Memory On A Dime, Put It In Reverse, And Spin It In Another Direction The Way You Can Reverse Direction On A Tape Recorder? We Cannot Forget On Command. So We Just Have To Let The Forgetting Happen As It Will; We Shouldn't Rush It, And We Certainly Should Not Doubt The Genuineness Of Our Forgiving If We Happen To Remember. The Really Important Thing Is That We Have The Power To Forgive What We Still Do Remember.

God Is The Original, Master Forgiver. Each Time We Grope Our Reluctant Way Through The Minor Miracle Of Forgiving, We Are Imitating His Style. I Am Not At All Sure That Any Of Us Would Have Had Imagination Enough To See The Possibilities In This Way To Heal The Wrongs Of This Life Had He Not Done It First.

The God Who Has The Whole World In His Hands Has Grace For The Whole World In His Heart.

We Forgive Freely Or We Do Not Really Forgive At All.

Vengeance Is Having A Videotape Planted In Your Soul That Cannot Be Turned Off. It Plays The Painful Scene Over And Over Again Inside Your Mind...and Each Time It Plays You Feel The Clap Of Pain Again...forgiving Turns Off The Videotape Of Pained Memory Forgiving Sets You Free.
