There are only so many cheeks to turn before you die of torture by repetition, or your anger is somewhat justified.

I haven't had the best past with my father, but today we are reconciled. Today there is no record of wrong, no bitterness in my heart. Today I can say with every fiber of my flesh that I love my father, and I honor you this day.

I will forever believe in second chances and forgiveness, because if it weren't for those two things I would and should be dead.

Take a walk through the garden of forgiveness and pick a flower of forgiveness for everything you have ever done. When you get to that time that is now, make a full and total forgiveness of your entire life and smile at the bouquet in your hands because it truly is beautiful.

Forgiveness is a gift to the one who is hurting.

If He could forgive those that nailed him to the cross on the spot...He can forgive me.
