Richard Walters Quotes

• There comes a time in every relationship when it's damaging to seek justice, when settling the score only stirs the fire. There comes a time when the best thing you can do is accept your brother and offer him the same grace you've been given.

• No perdonar prolonga el dolor y la ira y conduce al resentimiento latente, que nos hará desgraciados hasta que nos mate. El resentimiento destruye la percepción de la realidad. A medida que tratamos de doblegar el mundo para acomodarlo a nuestro resentimiento, miedo y egoísmo, nos volvemos menos precisos en la comprensión del mundo. Esto acaba destruyendo nuestra capacidad de afrontar la vida con éxito.

• What is forgiving? Forgiving is giving up all claim on one who had hurt you and letting go of the emotional consequences of the hurt. How can we do that? It's done at the price of beating back our pride. By nature we are selfish. Forgiving, by definition, is unselfish. Being hurt by another person wounds our pride. Pride stands in the way of forgiving. We cannot forgive without God's help. It might be possible for us to forgive something inconsequential without God's help; but in significant matters, we are unlikely to accomplish anything without God's involvement in the process.

• We have a stewardship responsibility to keep ourselves healthy physically and emotionally. If we don't, we cannot carry out our obligations to God, to family, to our employer, or to others. With this in mind, we put limits on the extent to which we allow others to abuse us. Doing right will mean abuse part of the time; that goes with the turf. But inviting abuse or failing to deal with it is wrong.
