To forgive is to heal
The victim may say, "I can't forgive these people. You don't know how bad they've hurt me." The problem is, they are still hurting you. How do you stop the pain? Forgiveness is what sets us free from the past. What is to be gained in forgiving is freedom. You don't heal in order to forgive. You forgive in order to heal. Forgiveness is to set a captive free and then to realize that you were the captive. You don't forgive others for their sake; you do it for your sake. Those you need to forgive may never be aware of your choice to let them off your hook. Forgiveness is the fragrance that is left on the heel that crushed the violet.

one who seeks Jesus
- He is still good
- Once barren, empty and alone, this broken vessel is now filled with living water overflowing. She is learning to submit to the life lessons that her Maker gives lavishly. Nothing is more important than Him and she gradually realizes the importance of her testimony and living because it will reflect true identity and purpose of her life to others. She seeks to grow and be nurtured into a tree that bears fruit for others to know that He is good! www.tabjoy.org
