7. The best way to heal a broken heart is to give God all the pieces
Everything was okay until it wasn’t…..
The best way to heal a broken heart is to give God all the pieces

9. When someone hurts you,
ask God for strength to show mercy to your offender, just as He does towards you

12. What forgiveness is……..
Forgiveness is about YOU healing, and not about the people who hurt you
Forgiveness is about you taking back your power
Forgiveness sets your spirit FREE!

13. There is nobility in compassion, and grace in forgiveness
Forgiveness is not something you do for someone else…you do it for YOURSELF.
There is nobility in compassion,
beauty in empathy,
and grace in forgiveness

14. What Forgiveness is not……
It is not forgetting that something painful happened
It is not denying, condoning or minimizing what happened
It does not mean you have to confront your offender

16. Forgive yourself and others, because you CAN. We are all human.
We are all imperfect, and perhaps therein lies our real beauty.
