Forgiveness is a blessing for the one who forgives

"Forgiveness is a blessing for the one who forgives
as well as for the one who is forgiven."
- Alice Gray

"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance:
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners –
of whom I am the worst.
But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me,
the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display
his unlimited patience as an example for those
who would believe on him and receive eternal life."
1 Timothy 1:15-16

By Christ I am forgiven, I am thankfull for that.
Lord, let me have the power to forgive others even when they did wrong to me.

Dutch version / Nederlands > Vergiffenis is een zegen voor diegene die vergeeft

but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
so that you may prove what the will of God is,
that which is good and acceptable and perfect."
Romans 12:2
