既然无人完美,那么所有人都会犯错;既然所有人都会犯错,那么终将有人伤害到你。你可以沉溺于此,内心变得苦毒……或者,你可以选择施予恩典。我们必须饶恕;我们必须继续前行,永远怀抱盼望,永不放弃。
我并不完美,我也会犯错;我也会伤害他人。我希望他们不要为此耿耿于怀,也不要在我面前心生苦毒……而是转向恩典。我希望他们能饶恕我;我希望他们继续爱我,永不放弃。
人们常常因放弃爱情、或向曾伤害自己的人报复而受到称赞。但这只是最轻松的路。为何要赞美那条容易的路?我们需要的是窄路与直路。真正的爱需要勇气,需要耐力,也需要时间去学习、在恩典中成长。
所以,别因骄傲而过早放手……骄傲被高估了。多留一会儿在盼望里,再多付出一点——超出你自以为力所能及的限度。竭尽全力走到尽头,再往前迈一步……上帝就在那里等候我们。祂会在我们精疲力竭、绳子绷到最后一刻时接住我们,分秒不差,只为让我们无法否认:正是祂。当我们耗尽最后一丝力气,祂便以祂的力量充满我们。上帝必赐下你所需的一切,祂绝不会令你失望。
倾尽所有交给上帝

if nobody is perfect, then all people make mistakes. if all people make mistakes, everyone will eventually end up hurting you. you can dwell on this and turn bitter inside... or you can choose to give grace. we must forgive. we must continue, always hope and never give up.
I am not perfect, i make mistakes. i will hurt people. i hope they do not dwell on it or become bitter towards me in their hearts,... but rather they turn to grace. i hope they forgive. i hope they continue to love me and never give up.
too often people are praised for giving up on love or getting back on somebody who hurt them. but that is the easy way to go. why praise the easy way? we need the straight and narrow. real love takes guts, it takes stamina, it takes time to learn and grow in grace.
so don't let go to quick out of pride... pride is overrated. stay a little longer in hope and give a little more than you think you can. Go as far as you can till you can't do it anymore, then take just one more step,,, that's where God is waiting for us. He will catch you there, he gets us at the end of our rope with not a moment to spare, just so we can't deny it was Him. When out last ounce of strength is lost he fills us up with his. God will give you what you need. He will not fail you.
