Recently I find myself having a hard time "forgiving". I struggle with having to find the compassion to forgive someone when they have wronged me, until I heard someone say this which gave me a whole new perspective:
Forgiveness:
is not an act of compassion for those who deserve it,
it is an act of compassion for those who NEED it.
Very wise statement. And may I add that forgiveness also frees your own mind and emotions. You're not wasting time rehashing something someone did to you while they aren't even thinking about it.
