#20 forgiveness.

"To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you."
-c.s. lewis



I'm not sure what it is inside of us that tells us its OK to choose to not forgive.


I think its the same part of us that for some reason tells us that we're a little bit better than everybody else, so we're the exception to the rule.


Or maybe its the same part of us that thinks God loves us more than that person who doesn't even believe in him anyway, so its OK to be a hater.

Either way, its the part of us that should feel the weight of conviction when we look at all we've done that God in his perfection has erased.

How in the world did a twenty-something person grow so very wise? Please don't take this as flattery for flattery's sake, but your writing absolutely astounds me.

And yeah, Clive's pretty awesome...
