What is forgiving?
Forgiving someone who did us wrong does not mean that we tolerate the wrong he did.
Forgiving does not mean we want to forget what happened.
Forgiving does not mean we excuse the person who did it.
Forgiving does not mean we take the edge off the evil of what was done to us.
Forgiving does not mean we surrender our right to justice.
Forgiving does not mean we invite someone who hurt us once to hurt us again.
Many people call forgiving a miracle and that is what it really is. Because when we forgive, we set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner we set free is ourselves.
