4give and 4get

It is painful to be wronged,

And it is not easy to forgive and forget;

But forgiveness provides an inner sense of

 calm and tranquility__

To stop a sense of being angry and resentful

 continually.

If you forgive not men their wrongs,

Neither will your father  in heaven forgive

 your wrongs.
