Sometimes we have the idea that forgiveness is a one-time thing.

We choose to forgive someone who has hurt us and then we are done.

Forgiveness, however, must be done on a daily basis—not for their sake, but for ours.

You see, our minds will too easily recall why we've been hurt and dwell on that instead of the forgiveness we've chosen.

Dave Willis had a good perspective,

“Forgiveness simply means loving someone enough to pursue healing instead of punishment when they've wronged you.”

Forgiving someone who has hurt you can be painful,

but deliberately choosing forgiveness will free you. I’m Mac Hammond, and this is the Winner’s Minute.
