On Love and Forgiveness
Posted by editormum on 28 August 2010 in Uncategorized | ∞
The highest respect you can show people is to let them take responsibility for their own actions. Love has this power, the power to let people be responsible for hurting us. … When we really love people with respect, we let them be accountable for what they do to us. And then we face the crisis of forgiving.
— Lewis B. Smedes, in Forgive and Forget: Healing the Hurts We Don’t Deserve
