We tell our children, "One of the hardest things to deal with in this life is that
you will be hurt by the people you love, and one of the saddest to accept is that you will hurt the people who love you too. It's a part of being a sinful human being in a sinful world. And we tell them:
How quickly you ask forgiveness,
how quickly you are willing to work things out, and
how quickly you forgive
are a measure of the love in your heart and your maturity in Christ."
