Forgiveness (70 x 7)

“The life of the Christian living in true forgiveness is powerful, it's freedom. Forgiveness isn't naivety. It's not pretending that what was done to you wasn't wrong. It's not opening yourself up to be hurt by them again. It's definitely important sometimes to put protective measures, especially with levels of abuse and things like that. … No, what we're saying is recognizing in your heart letting go of the bitterness and the anger and that right to revenge. It heals you.”
