Forgiveness says you are given another chance to make a new beginning.

The line frames forgiveness not as excusing wrongdoing or erasing consequences, but as a moral act that reopens the future. By describing forgiveness as granting “another chance,” it emphasizes restoration: the offender is invited back into the human community with the possibility of change, and the injured party is released from being defined by the harm. The phrase “new beginning” aligns with Desmond Tutu’s broader public theology of reconciliation—especially in societies emerging from political violence—where healing depends on acknowledging truth while still making room for transformation. It highlights forgiveness as forward-looking, practical, and ethically demanding rather than sentimental.
