“Holding a grudge doesn’t make you strong:
it makes you bitter.
Forgiving doesn’t make you weak:
it sets you free.”

“You ought to forgive others.
Sometimes, the dark deed of others
is due to inner struggles and fears.
With your shining light and kind deeds,
you will help them to turn to the light.”
~ Lailah Gifty Akita more
“Forgive others,
not because they deserve forgiveness,
but because you deserve peace.
Free yourself of the burden
of being an eternal victim.”
“Forgiving yourself
is as important as forgiving others.
Guilt is toxic,
re-living the mistake over and over.
Love yourself.
Forgive yourself.”
~ Robert Tew
“People have to forgive.
We don’t have to like them,
we don’t have to be friends with them,
we don’t have to send them hearts in text messages,
but we have to forgive them,
to overlook, to forget.
Because if we don’t
we are tying rocks to our feet,
too much for our wings to carry!”
~ C. JoyBell C. more
“Be an example…
show kindness to unkind people.
Forgive people who don’t deserve it.
Love unconditionally.
Your actions always reflect who you are.”

BELIEVE
(An aria from the Woody Guthrie Opera,
Woody for the People)
I believe in redemption
I believe in the Truth
I believe there’s a moment when all that is good
comes shining through
I believe in transition
I believe change is good
It’s the steady confusion of life that transforms
us from old into new
And I believe … nothing could be so fine
As Love and Forgiveness … and Mercy Devine
I believe in remorse
that forgiveness is Truth
And that nothing else matters as much as the
love between me and you
And I believe … nothing could be so fine
As Love and Forgiveness … and Mercy Devine
~ Michael Johnathon
