Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future."
"Bitterness imprisons life; love releases it." - Harry Emerson Fosdick
"You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well." - Lewis Smedes
"Then
Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my
brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times." (Matthew 18:21-22)

I agree.
