CAPACITY TO FORGIVE

“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.”

Quote by Martin Luther King, Jr.

REFLECTION:

  • Have you developed the capacity to forgive?
  • Can you examine the plank in your eye and the speck in someone else’s?
  • What does forgiveness look like for you?
  • Can you forgive someone today?
