Quote

Yes, God does expect us to live holy, consecrated lives. But not even the best of our intentions can make it happen. Thankfully, He doesn't expect us to make ourselves holy. He just wants us to learn to depend on Him to make us holy.

The first step to forgiveness is the desire to do it, no matter how you feel toward the person who hurt you.

The next step is to depend on the Holy Spirit to help you do what you've decided to do.
