Forgiveness Quote by Meg Meeker

“Love that comes easily satisfies only a little. Love that requires us to say things that are right and good, to extend comfort and forgiveness to a loved one when he doesn’t deserve it, or to refuse to give up trying, is the kind that truly makes life worth living.” quote by Meg Meeker
