True Forgiveness.

From my favorite puritan, Thomas Watson. I love this man.

Question: When do we forgive others?

Answer: When we strive against all thoughts of revenge (Romans 12:19); when we will nor do our enemies mischief (1 Thessalonians 5:15), but wish well to them (Luke 6:28), grieve at their calamities (Proverbs 24:17), pray for them (Matthew 5:44), seek reconciliation with them (Romans 12:18), and show ourselves ready on all occasions to relieve them (Exodus 23:4).
