Quote From: "In the Light of the Garden: A Novel by
Heather Burch"
“Unforgiveness is an anchor. It will tie you to the pain
with a chain too thick to break. It will wind around your neck and drown you in
the very water you need to navigate.”
Matthew 6:
14 -15
14 rFor
if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also
forgive you, 15 sbut
if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive
your trespasses.
Quote from Heir of Hope: Return to Ironwood Plantation (Ironwood Plantation Family Saga Book 2) by Stephenia H. McGee
"Forgiveness doesn't mean what they did is okay. It doesn't mean everything is magically better. It doesn't even mean you have to restore a relationship with that person or trust them again. Forgiveness simply means you let go of the burden that drags you down. It gives you peace.
To forgive is a freeing thing - your heart feels lighter when you forgive.
