For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.~Ephesians 5:8

Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.~Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, and patience, forbearing one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive*.~Colossians 3:12-13

* I just want to add that forgiveness doesn’t mean allowing one to abuse you. It also doesn’t mean not holding the guilty party accountable. It means releasing the pain so you can heal and grow and so can the other person. Oftentimes, people confuse forgiveness with denial of justice. Forgiveness and justice can coexist . . . in other words, you can forgive and still receive justice. Please read The 3 Paradoxes of Forgiveness That Confuse Many People.
