Now matter how obstinate the obstacle or horrific the hurt, forgiveness is always possible.



'For if you forgive others their trespasses,
your heavenly Father will also forgive you.'
Matthew 6:14


My Lord and my God,
give me the courage and the will to be humbly
and to look over the limitednesses of others
and to forgive their mistakes.
