Forgiveness is Simple Really I have spent a good many hours with folks this week who have a hard time forgiving others. Seems they want people to change first before they will extend forgiveness.

Hmmm...there is a secret to prolonged emotional pain -- it's holding on to the memory and the incident where hurt began and not moving forward.

Jesus said that freely we have recieved and freely should give. The first step in finding healing is to not demand that the other person changes, but to begin to change yourself. Asking forgiveness can be the first step toward restoration.
