I Forgive You

Sometimes the person who says, "I forgive you" finds a deeper healing than the person to whom forgiveness is offered--given. But there can be no healing of any soul if we don't say those words--"I forgive you"--from a heart filled with genuine love. "Be kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another--even as God, for Christ's sake has forgiven you." "I forgive you"--the balm in Gilead--heals the sin-sick soul." Yes, even--particularly--the struggling soul who needs to say it to someone else with all his or her heart. And yes, if I refuse to give forgiveness, I have a sin-sick soul.
