FORGIVENESS is giving up the HOPE that the past could have been ANY DIFFERENT. FORGIVENESS doesn't excuse their behavior. FORGIVENESS prevents their behavior from destroying your HEART. To FORGIVE is to set a prisoner FREE and discover that the prisoner was YOU. 5 Tips For Forgiving 1. Don't deny that you've been hurt. FORGIVING isn't denying. 2. Make a decision to FORGIVE others. (Lk 17:3-5) 3. Don't seek revenge or repay evil for evil. Let GOD handle it. (1 Pet 3:9) 4. Pray the LORD will release any anger inside you. (Eph 4:26-27,31) 5. Pray for those who hurt you. (Matt 5: 44) *** The Book FORGIVENESS: How To Make Peace With Your Past And Get On With Your Life by Sidney Simon
