Here is a quote from a book called “Becoming a Woman of Freedom” by Cynthia Heald

Neil T. Anderson

“You don’t’ forgive someone merely for their sake; you do it for your sake so you can be free. Your need to forgive isn’t an issue between you and the offender; it’s between you and God. Forgiveness is agreeing to live with the consequences of another person’s sin.  Forgiveness is costly; we pay the price of evil we forgive. Yet you’re going to live with those consequences whether you want to or not; your only choice is whether you will do so in the bitterness of un-forgiveness or the freedom of forgiveness…. Forgiveness deals with your pain, not another’s behavior.”
