If you do not forgive, then I will not forgive you. Every time you say the Lord’s Prayer, you are saying, “Okay God, forgive me as I forgive.” So, if you are very forgiving, great job. You have nothing to worry about. If you are not very forgiving — not good — I’d worry a lot.”

“Isn’t it amazing that when you and I start doing things that are against the will of God, all it does is make us emptier?
