I used to tell people that I walked in forgiveness when they would wonder why I didn't hold a grudge against someone who had perpetrated an offense against me. I thought of how Jesus forgave me for every transgression I had ever made against him. In that light, it was much easier to forgive others for what they had done to me.
Martin Luther King said, "Forgiveness is not an occasional act. It is a permanent attitude." I really liked that quote and took it to heart.

Great post!
We point the finger at others and there are 4 pointing back at ourselves.
I've
chosen to walk in forgiveness. It's an attitude and a choice and the only way to live in my opinion. Life's too short to wallow in resentment, bitterness, deep-seated anger and a "get even - revenge is mine" kind of attitude.
I like this quote..... "For every second you're angry you lose 60 seconds of happiness".
