As I mentioned in a previous blog, I'm reading TrueFaced written by Bill Thrall, Bruce McNicol, and John Lynch - excellent book with so many amazing insights. I thought I'd share a paragraph I read this evening that I thought was written well and explained forgiveness perfectly.
"Forgiveness breaks down walls, frees hearts, mends countries, restores families, and draws out the best in us. It can turn hatred into tenderness and the desire to destroy into a passion to protect. It is more powerful than any weapon, government, or wealth. Nothing else can bring such profound healing. Forgiveness forms the foundation of our relationship with God and sustains our relationships with each other. When we unleash this gift, by receiving it in humble trust that God can actually free our heart and heal our relationships, then the miraculous can happen. This powerful gift has one purpose: to protect us from insidious harm that comes from sin done against us."
