Take Heart: Forgiven, Restored, and Sent to Love
View MoreForgiveness is the first word of healing. It is the gentle restoration that steadies us before we stand, the mercy that loosens what has been tightened by fear, shame, or long discouragement.

They did not become holy by striving for greatness, but by surrendering to love—by letting Christ become the center around which everything else turned.
