God is not looking for repayment, but repentance. What heals a broken relationship is sincere love and contrition.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Many promising reconciliations have broken down because while both parties come prepared to forgive, neither party come prepared to be forgiven.
God is waiting for us, to forgive us all, and what is broken, he'll fix.
Reconciliation is a part of the healing process, but how can there be healing when the wounds are still being inflicted?
Only the love that flows from the heart of Christ can heal. Only He in whom that love flows, even as the sap in the tree or the blood in the body, can restore the wounded soul.
We cannot embrace God's forgiveness if we are so busy clinging to past wounds and nursing old grudges.
One forgives to the degree that one loves.
You don't repair that relationship by sitting down and talking about trust or making promises. Actually, what rebuilds it is living it and doing things differently - and I think that is what is going to make the difference.
God hasn't given up on you. He can still do great things for you, in you, and through you. God is ready and waiting and able.
Forgiveness is like faith. You have to keep reviving it.
It is impossible to repent of love. The sin of love does not exist.
