(Colossians 3:13)
The greatest power you have over anyone who hurts you is the power of forgiveness. When you say, “I forgive, and no longer hold it against you”, both sides are set free from the negative bond that exists between you. But there’s more: we also free ourselves from the burden of being the ‘offended one’.
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be upon his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
Isaiah 9: 6
