Our faith must not be just about
ourselves and the good we do
but about all of us and the joint
Improvement of conditions. Free will
allows us to stray, but our purpose
stays strong. We are all living on the
foundation built for us by Jesus. But
even still, we do not all walk together.
Some will stray, only to return. Their
evil deeds are forgotten, and like the
Prodigal son, their return is cause for
a celebration, and they are welcomed
as though they had never left. When
we are personally offended and the
offender returns for forgiveness, we
should be ready to forgive and celebrate.
This is the spirit of love that Christ
taught us. It is a lesson worth learning.
