Forgiveness changes relationships. It brings us back together again as a family. It creates new families. Today, you'll be with me in paradise. When we are truly reconciled once again with our brother or sister it feels like heaven, because there is a little bit of heaven reflected in that forgiven relationship.
Diversity is beautiful.
It, too, is a reflection of heaven. Forgiveness is always a gift. No one ever deserves it. When we do wrong we generally expect to be punished. When we hurt someone we are not surprised when they try to get even.
