What is forgiveness?

Forgiveness is a decision I make to obey God, and to walk in a lifestyle in a higher realm, by not allowing someone else's actions or attitudes to dictate my actions or attitudes, releasing them to God, while not requiring them to be accountable to me. To move in the opposite spirit making sure I am willing for God to use me as an unrestricted channel of His love for that person.  (Youth With a Mission)
