Read this today:

Forgiving someone happens when you make the decision to stop being upset or angry with someone over their actions or their words. You might still remember what they did that was hurtful; but when you forgive them, you're deciding not to let it keep hurting you or keep being upset with them for it.

Where did this come from? VBS booklet. All the things we teach kids but sometimes fail to teach ourselves.... Forgiving others seems so easy when we're kids, but we forget to do this once we grow older. Good reminders to self.... forgiveness frees ourselves from the bitter prison that we're in and sets us free to receive God's love
