Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”
Luke 23:34 NKJV
Once we see the world and ourselves for what we are, we can help.
Once we understand ourselves, we begin to operate not from a posture of anger but one of compassion and concern.
We look at the world not with bitter frowns but with extended hands.
We realize that the lights are out and a lot of people are stumbling in the darkness. So we light the candles….
Instead of fighting back we help out.
