All of their denial had disappeared. There was no doubt that abortion had finally become a moral issue to Mr. Davis. The pain of his own sin was evident in the bitter grief he expressed during the service. This family was only beginning to work through the pain and allow God's love to enter into each of their lives. For the healing to continue, it is important that each family member ask for God's forgiveness and be able to forgive others, too.
Forgiveness is a choice that takes work, prayer and grace.
But it does not require liking the person who is being forgiven. Mr. Davis needs to forgive Gina's boyfriend for his role in the pregnancy or else the exoneration he pleads for is in vain. I feel ruin my life any more. I am not going to lose my daughter the way I lost my grandchild because of my feelings for you. Yet there is no evil beyond God's capacity to heal, forgive and rebuild.
