"We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies."-Martin Luther King Jr.

This is the hardest lesson to learn.  It helps if I picture us all within a large circle enveloped with God's love.  No one is more or less loved by God.  He knows why people make the choices they do.  We don't know the circumstances nor can we see inside their hearts.  But it helps me to remember that no matter how much or how little it may seem someone is loved-it is all the same.  God loves us all the same.  So if I am hurt by another-I hurt myself by holding onto the hurt-reliving it day after day-let it go.  I am not saying we should let others go out to do harm to us or others-we can do what we can to stop the hurt then let it go.  God knows and God will take care of it.  Peace.
