Forgiveness

"One of the secrets of a long and fruitful life is to forgive everybody everything every night before going to bed." -Bernard Baruch

I have been thinking a lot lately about forgiveness, and the freedom that it brings. It isn't always easy to do, and more often then not, it has to be a daily task. I have loved this quote from the moment that I heard it, and I believe it to be true. I think you can make yourself mentally and physically sick if you hold on to grudges or withhold forgiveness. It truly is like drinking poison. Even if someone isn't sorrowful for what they have done, or hasn't apologized, you can still pray with all your heart for the Lord to help you forgive, so you can find peace and heal your own soul.
