So few lovers and healers.

Is the desire and the delight to forgive and to love often birthed from our desperation to be forgiven and be loved?

Are you in love with Jesus? Do you know the incarnate God? In our world of loneliness and despair, there is an enormous need for men and women who know the heart of God, a heart that forgives, that cares, that reaches out and wants to heal.
—Henri Nouwen

A Classic from Keith Green
Oh Lord, You're beautiful
Your face is all I seek
For when your eyes are on this child
Your grace abounds to me

Oh Lord, please light this fire
That once burn bright and clear
Replace the lamp of my first love
That burns with Holy Fear
- Keith Green

The power and the freedom of repentance and forgiveness comes only through the Power of the Cross. The liberty from the oppression of unforgiveness can only be sustained by the continual receiving of the grace of God.
