Pride stands in the way of forgiving. We cannot forgive without God's help. It might be possible for us to forgive something inconsequential without God's help; but in significant matters, we are unlikely to accomplish anything without God's involvement in the process.”
“I dont want someone else to go through and live through the life that I have had to live through in terms of the challenges that I face.”
