"We cannot give up revenge for those wrongs done to us until we can forgive."
I agree with this statement. It can be very hard to forgive someone, depending on the wrongs, atrocities etc perpetrated against one. I know hanging on to anger is unhealthy to the host.
I have experienced this. And I do not like to feel that much anger. It's devastating. To me, Revenge is Anger. Forgiveness is hard but necessary. And just because you forgive someone, it doesn't mean you condone their actions.
"And just because you forgive someone, it doesn't mean you condone their actions."
That is your wisdom speaking, Diana. So many people equate forgiveness with approval or condoning the action. They then miss the gift in "forgiveness."
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
