...to Forgive...

God’s nature is to forgive. God’s character is such that he died a brutal death for the sake of the very people who abused him. Such forgiveness doesn’t come naturally to any of us. It must be learned and often learned again, even though the process can be excruciatingly painful, hurtful, and horrendous. If we refuse to take the “harder road” because it’s more difficult, we’ll never mature.

~ Gary Thomas (Sacred Marriage)
