Forgiveness Defined

Just finished the book, Think No Evil by Jonas Beiler and Shawn Smucker.  Great book!  Highly recommend it to you!

In it they define forgiveness as the "decision to release yourself from anger, resentment, hate, or the urge for revenge despite the injury you suffered."

And Forgiveness is "letting go of hope for a different past." 

Wow... that last one... really is powerful.  Take a moment and think about it!  Let it impact your thoughts.
