God knew full well that our fleshly desires would tempt us to do wrong. That is not an excuse, however, for us to justify yielding to the desires of the flesh. God still expects us to act in obedience and holiness and to overcome the nature of the flesh: But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh (Gal. 5:16). -- David Servant, The Disciple Making Minister
Love is an act of forgiving in which evil is converted to good and destruction into creation. -- Henri Nouwen, The Spiritual Life
In our own ways, we are all broken. Out of that brokenness, we hurt others. Forgiveness is the journey we take toward healing the broken parts. It is how we become whole again -- Desmond Tutu, The Book of Forgiving
