“Give it to God and say, “God, I don’t understand it, but I’m not going to keep probing. I’m not going to try to figure it out. I know that You wouldn’t have allowed it if You couldn’t bring good out of it, so I’m going to drop it, leave it, and let it go.”

“Oftentimes the reason we don’t forgive is because what the other person did was wrong. They were clearly at fault. But when you forgive, you’re not excusing their behavior. You’re not lessening the offense; you’re simply getting the poison out of you. You have to forgive so you can be free.”

“But too often we’re holding on to hurts, disappointments, and things we don’t understand. This poisons our attitude, takes our passion, and makes us negative and critical. You have to let it go and quit going back to it. It’s over and done. Move forward.”
