Many of us understand giving, but some of us may still be confused about the meaning of forgiveness. Some people may go through life in a groveling mode, mistakenly believing they have to receive forgiveness from others. Forgiveness offers more than a reprieve granted to us by another person.

We can develop the flexibility to change our mind and our behavior patterns to higher and greater expressions and find new avenues to freedom.
