“…this piece of the Gospel has not always gone down well with the church. We have argued about it for two thousand years and I expect we will continue to argue about it for two thousand more. We are so afraid of letting people off the hook. We are so resentful of unearned love. Unless we happen to be the ones toward whom the father is running, with his arms wide open and tears wetting his beard.”
~from Barbara Brown Taylor
What might it take for you to rejoice in the forgiveness you witness for someone else…for example your younger sibling? your wayward spouse? your child who has flunked out of school for the 3rd time?
