Positive reinforcement changes behavior for the better, while criticism stabilizes negative behaviors and blocks change.

We mirror God's mercy to us when we forgive another.

Truth matters. Everything we can do to find, feed, and strengthen it is worth the effort.

Sometimes forgiveness is instant, but sometimes it takes time.

Forgiveness is possible even when there is no restitution, no remorse on the part of the perpetrator.

We will know our forgiveness is complete when we have a genuine desire for the welfare of the people who have wronged us.

When we have been hurt, slighted, or wounded unfairly, we are not left alone to bear it. We can get on our knees and ask for the Lord's help to forgive.
