“We do terrible things to the ones we love. We cheat and lie and betray them, for thirty pieces of silver or our own selfish hearts. The only way love endures is because of one simple gift. Forgiveness.”
“People think that forgiveness is for the person who wronged you, but it's not. Because when we allow things to bottle up inside of us and we don't release it, or forgive the people who may have caused hurt to come in our lives, we just become bitter. And God can't use bitter people.”
“Over time, we would learn each other and I would learn to love her like a mother loves a daughter, imperfectly and without roots.”
“In that moment, we were the same, each of us destroyed by our limited understanding of reality.”
“When faced with the choice to Love or Decieve, therein lies the path to the Heroes and Thieves.”
“When we give our heartbreak to God, he fashions it into a softer and even more loving heart."~R. Alan Woods [2013]”
“Help us to forgive ourselves as we struggle in our process of forgiving others."~R. Alan Woods [2013]”
