Couples whose marriages fail should

be “accompanied” and not “condemned”.

St Francis

“When love fails, and it fails many times, we have to feel the pain of that

failure, accompany the people who have felt the failure of their love,” the

pope said during the daily mass he holds in the Vatican. “Don’t condemn

Inkeer

As Lewis Smedes points out, “The first and often

the only person to be healed by forgiveness is

the person who does the forgiveness...”

Philip Yancey

“When we genuinely forgive, we set a prisoner free and then

discover that the prisoner we set free was us.”

Philip Yancey

The only thing harder than forgiveness is the alternative.

Hoe help ek...

Hoekom?

Waar?

“Maar dít sal ek ter harte neem en om dié rede bly ek hoop: deur die liefde van die Here het ons nie vergaan nie;

daar is geen einde aan sy ontferming nie.”
