About This Quote
The idea that forgiveness is the only battery that can power our relationship with God and other men like us is a little surprising because it seems to imply that forgiveness doesn’t have any other purpose. But, as you start looking at this idea from a different perspective, it becomes clear that this is true. If forgiveness were a worthless commodity, then it would be given out for free and people wouldn’t demand it. Because it’s not free, we have to ask for forgiveness and we have to use it in order to grow stronger.
