A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEKEND

We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

1929-1968

A Simple Prayer

Father in Heaven! Hold not our sins up against us but hold us up against our sins so that the thought of You when it wakens in our soul, and each time it wakens, should not remind us of what we have committed but of what You did forgive, not of how we went astray but of how You did save us!

Soren Kierkegaard, Danish Philosopher
1813-1855

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEKEND

It's simple: When you haven't forgiven those who've hurt you, you turn your back against your future. When you do forgive, you start walking forward.

Tyler Perry, who forgave his abusive father,

and works the theme of forgiveness

into every play and movie he writes.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEKEND

Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved.
