“Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill.”

Forgiveness means letting go of my demand for revenge, my resentment and hate, my desire to see them suffer. I take back my heart and my power, freeing myself from their control.

“God proves His love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.”

'Your brother has returned and your father has slaughtered the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.'
