“The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that that situation is over, you cannot move forward.”

—Steve Maraboli

Oh Allah, please forgive me,
For the wounds caused by my sharp tongue
For the insanity that has consumed my thoughts
For the fire of jealousy and hatred burning through my eyes
For the bitterness trapped in my cold broken heart

For the ways I have hurt others and hurt myself
For the ways I have wronged others and wronged myself

But most of all, please forgive me for not remembering,
For not turning to You at certain times,
Whether I was afflicted by pain or filled with joy.

“You only have to forgive once. To resent, you have to do it all day, every day. You have to keep remembering all the bad things.”

—M.L. Stedman, The Light Between Oceans

“You can keep sinning, and God will just keep forgiving you, no matter what. This is true, but it doesn't matter, because: you don't want to keep sinning. Sin has, time and again failed on its promise to satisfy, and God has always satisfied. God isn't afraid of the bond you have with your sin because He knows it's already letting you down. You want more, and He wants more for you.”

“If I've ever offended you, I ask you to forgive me and ask Allah to forgive me. We're not perfect but our job is to perfect one another.”

—Omar Suleiman

“The last thing this world needs is another guilt-shoveler behind a pulpit. What people desperately need to hear is the good news. They need to be told their sins have been forgiven and it is our responsibility to tell them. Indeed, this is the privilege of proclaiming the gospel. The ministry of reconciliation is not telling people that a huffy God waits for them to sooth his offended ego with a bunch of repentance flowers and a box of confession chocolates. It is the thrill of proclaiming the glad, happy news that God loves them, his face is turned towards them, and he holds nothing against them.”

—Paul Ellis, The Gospel in Ten Words

“Forgiveness in no way requires that you trust the one you forgive.”

—W. Paul Young, The Shack
