Waiting Is The Hardest Work Of Hope.

The Moments Of Grace Usually Give Us More Than One Good Thing We Can Do, And We Do Well If We Manage A Pretty Good Batting Average. ... It Is An Opportunity That God Sews Into The Fabric Of A Routine Situations - It Is A Chance To Do Something Creative, Something Helpful, Something Healing, Something That Makes One Unmarked Spot In The World Better Off For Our Having Been There.

If We Say That Monsters [people Who Do Terrible Evil] Are Beyond Forgiving, We Give Them A Power They Should Never Have...they Are Given The Power To Keep Their Evil Alive In The Hearts Of Those Who Suffered Most. We Give Them Power To Condemn Their Victims To Live Forever With The Hurting Memory Of Their Painful Pasts. We Give The Monsters The Last Word.

You Will Know That Forgiveness Has Begun When You Recall Those Who Hurt You And Feel The Power To Wish Them Well.

The God Who Has The Whole World In His Hands Has Grace For The Whole World In His Heart.
