Sometimes we believe that certain injustices are beyond forgiveness, that the wrongs we have experienced or that the people who have hurt us don't deserve to be forgiven. I love this quote by Corrie ten Boom, and I love her heart. Although she witnessed horrible and violent treatment, to herself and others, she still chose to forgive. She reminds us, even today, that forgiveness is a powerful tool to heal the heart of the wounded.
This is definitely worth remembering when we consider our own marriages and the relationships we have with those around us. Because the truth is: we all need to extend and receive forgiveness.
I hope that today you receive grace and forgiveness for the wrongs you have done to others and that you also extend grace and forgiveness to those who have hurt you. So that you may be free from slavery to bitterness, hatred, selfishness, and resentment.
