I think the first step is to understand that forgiveness does not exonerate the perpetrator. Forgiveness liberates the victim. It's a gift you give yourself.

I'm not particularly political. I'm not particularly denominational. I'm not worried about any of that.

When you can't do nothing but pray-you've done a whole lot.
