“I reached an important level of healing that day. I forgave myself and planned to stop carrying my guilt any longer. Even though I did not have the closure of hearing my dad apologize for the abuse, I chose to forgive him.”
“If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.”
“Only the grace of God made my behavior possible. I did not forget what my dad had done, I forgave him for it. If I had not, my life would have been ruined by me, not him.”
-JoAnn Marie
