And like a nasty bacteria, it can fester where you think it's safely buried. It's only as the Lord shines His light on the deepest part of our hearts that we see it for what it is. Thanks for the great reminder, Tessa!Rita Galiehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586506137798711397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-35972992975927281432011-05-06T17:34:06.101-07:002011-05-06T17:34:06.101-07:00Good to be reminded, Tessa.

An act of coldness, apathy, a gossipy word are just are offensive to God as murder or adultery.

At the same time, the Bible tells us that only as we forgive can we experience forgiveness. A powerful paradox. I am glad Osama ben Ladin has been stopped, but we will never have peace until we can forgive each other.LeAnne Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11433010038077925237noreply@blogger.com
