When you forgive, you love. And when you love, God’s light shines upon you.

About This Quote

When you forgive, you love. And when you love, God’s light shines upon you. When you forgive someone, you are loving them. And God loves us, so when we forgive someone, God is showing us how much He loves us. It’s very difficult to forgive others if we are not willing to forgive ourselves.
