Good sense makes one slow to anger,
and it is his glory to overlook an offense.
Proverbs 19:11
Thinking on the following quote as it relates to forgiveness...
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts, it’s more important than the past, it’s more important than education, it’s more important than money, circumstances, failures, successes. It’s more important than what other people think or say or do. It’s more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, or a home.
The remarkable thing is that we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string that we have, and that is our attitude.
I’m convinced that life is ten percent of what happens to me and ninety percent of how I react to it."
