b'"Forgiving each other just as, in Christ, God forgave you." Eph 4:32\\n\\nThis will come as a surprise to some, but the opposite of \'forgiveness\' is not \'vengeance\' or \'resentment\' or even \'bitterness\'. It is \'despair\' : as the heart lunges backward into the grievances of the past, and loses all perspective of the wonderful things of God. This too...is a crossroad.'
