As we have just completed the first third of Ramadan – the third of mercy – I ask god to give us the strength to fast the rest of the days and approach the next third – the third of forgiveness – with an open heart and a clear mind.
I leave you with these two quotes that set the stage for forgiveness.
Forgiveness is not a feeling – it’s a decision we make because we want to do what’s right before God. It’s a quality decision that won’t be easy and it may take time to get through the process, depending on the severity of the offense. – Joyce Meyer
Forgiveness isn’t just a blessing you deliver to another human being. Forgiveness is also a gift you give yourself. – Robin S. Sharma
