What forgiveness does


 One of my favorite books is "The Hiding Place," the story of Corrie ten Boom and her family and the suffering they endured for hiding Jewish people in their home during World War 2.  She survive the concentration camps and became a popular speaker and writer.  I love how she turns a phrase.

 Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hatred.  It is a  power that breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness.  What a liberation when you can forgive.

From "Oh, How He Loves You."
