““Some of you are rehashing the same hurt every chance you get with anyone who will listen. For you, I have this question: Who made you God?

To assume otherwise is to assume God can’t do it. Revenge is irreverent … To forgive someone is to display reverence. Forgiveness is not saying the one who hurt you was right. Forgiveness is stating that God is faithful and he will do what is right.””
