Watch out for each other. Love everyone and forgive everyone, including yourself. Forgive your anger. Forgive your guilt. Your shame. Your sadness. Embrace and open up your love, your joy, your truth, and most especially your heart.
Judge nothing, you will be happy. Forgive everything, you will be happier. Love everything, you will be happiest.
I am a great Sinner and God is a great Savior.
Nothing in the Christian life is more important than forgiveness-our forgiveness of others and God’s forgiveness of us.
