USCSI REFLECTIONS

Forgiveness is not easy; it takes time and effort. Forgiveness is not about forgetting. It doesn’t mean a change in memory; it means a change of heart. Forgiveness is willing to allow a person who has offended me to start over again. Forgiveness recognizes the humanity of the person who has wronged us and also recognizes our own humanity and our own shortcomings and our own contribution to what goes wrong in relationships.
