Review Lessons 111-120IntroductionOur next review begins today. We will review two recent lessons every day for ten successive days of practicing. We will observe a special format for these practice periods, that you are urged to follow just as closely as you can.We understand, of course, that it may be impossible for you to undertake what is suggested here as optimal each day and every hour of the day. Learning will not be hampered when you miss a practice period because it is impossible at the appointed time. Nor is it necessary that you make excessive efforts to be sure that you catch up in terms of numbers. Rituals are not our aim, and would defeat our goal.But learning will be hampered when you skip a practice period because you are unwilling to devote the time to it that you are asked to give. Do not deceive yourself in this. Unwillingness can be most carefully concealed behind a cloak of situations you cannot control. Learn to distinguish situations that are poorly suited to your practicing from those that you establish to uphold a camouflage for your unwillingness.Those practice periods that you have lost because you did not want to do them, for whatever reason, should be done as soon as you have changed your mind about your goal. You are unwilling to cooperate in practicing salvation only if it interferes with goals you hold more dear. When you withdraw the value given them, allow your practice periods to be replacements for your litanies to them. They gave you nothing. But your practicing can offer everything to you. And so accept their offering and be at peace.The format you should use for these reviews is this: Devote five minutes twice a day, or longer if you would prefer it, to considering the thoughts that are assigned. Read over the ideas and comments that are written down for each day's exercise. And then begin to think about them, while letting your mind relate them to your needs, your seeming problems and all your concerns.Place the ideas within your mind, and let it use them as it chooses. Give it faith that it will use them wisely, being helped in its decisions by the One Who gave the thoughts to you. What can you trust but what is in your mind? Have faith, in these reviews, the means the Holy Spirit uses will not fail. The wisdom of your mind will come to your assistance. Give direction at the outset; then lean back in quiet faith, and let the mind employ the thoughts you gave as they were given you for it to use.You have been given them in perfect trust; in perfect confidence that you would use them well; in perfect faith that you would see their messages and use them for yourself. Offer them to your mind in that same trust and confidence and faith. It will not fail. It is the Holy Spirit's chosen means for your salvation. Since it has His trust, His means must surely merit yours as well.We emphasize the benefits to you if you devote the first five minutes of the day to your reviews, and also give the last five minutes of your waking day to them. If this cannot be done, at least try to divide them so you undertake one in the morning, and the other in the hour just before you go to sleep.The exercises to be done throughout the day are equally important, and perhaps of even greater value. You have been inclined to practice only at appointed times, and then go on your way to other things, without applying what you learned to them. As a result, you have gained little reinforcement, and have not given your learning a fair chance to prove how great are its potential gifts to you. Here is another chance to use it well.In these reviews, we stress the need to let your learning not lie idly by between your longer practice periods. Attempt to give your daily two ideas a brief but serious review each hour. Use one on the hour, and the other one a half an hour later. You need not give more than just a moment to each one. Repeat it, and allow your mind to rest a little time in silence and in peace. Then turn to other things, but try to keep the thought with you, and let it serve to help you keep your peace throughout the day as well.If you are shaken, think of it again. These practice periods are planned to help you form the habit of applying what you learn each day to everything you do. Do not repeat the thought and lay it down. Its usefulness is limitless to you. And it is meant to serve you in all ways, all times and places, and whenever you need help of any kind. Try, then, to take it with you in the business of the day and make it holy, worthy of God's Son, acceptable to God and to your Self.Each day's review assignments will conclude with a restatement of the thought to use each hour, and the one to be applied on each half hour as well. Forget them not. This second chance with each of these ideas will bring such large advances that we come from these reviews with learning gains so great we will continue on more solid ground, with firmer footsteps and with stronger faith.Do not forget how little you have learned.Do not forget how much you can learn now.Do not forget your Father's need of you,As you review these thoughts He gave to you.LESSON 111Review of Lessons 91 - 92For morning and evening review:(91) Miracles are seen in light.I cannot see in darkness.Let the light of holiness and truth light up my mind,and let me see the innocence within.(92) Miracles are seen in light, and light and strength are one.I see through strength, the gift of God to me.My weakness is the dark His gift dispels,by giving me His strength to take its place. On the hour:Miracles are seen in light.On the half hour:Miracles are seen in light, and light and strength are one.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

What does perfect narcissism look like? We can see it in the evil of Satan.    I read a list the other day about the characteristics of those with narcistic personality disorder. Grandiose Sense of Self-Importance: They believe they are superior and special, deserving of exceptional treatment and recognition. Exploitative Behavior: They manipulate and take advantage of others to get what they want, often without remorse or guilt.  Arrogance and Conceit: They often come across as arrogant and boastful, displaying a sense of superiority. Difficulty Handling Criticism: They react negatively to any perceived criticism, becoming defensive and angry.  Preoccupation with Success and Power: They are often fixated on fantasies of success, power, brilliance, or beauty. Entitlement: An unreasonable expectation of favorable treatment and special privileges, believing they deserve more than others.  Lack of Empathy: Difficulty understanding or sharing the feelings of others, often dismissing or invalidating their emotions.  Need for Admiration and Attention: A constant craving for praise, validation, and attention from others, often seeking it through manipulation or grandstanding. Envy: Experiencing envy of others or believing that others are envious of them. Unwillingness to Accept Responsibility: Blaming others for their mistakes or failures, rather than taking accountability for their actions. I think I could add an eleventh characteristic and this comes from those who have been entrapped by a narcissist into a long-term relationship. 11. An Attractive mask: They have such a beautiful, alluring presence to them that it's not until you're deep into a relationship with them that you are able to see behind the facade.   Read more here

It is difficult to forgive others if we fail to understand how much God has forgiven us. Unwillingness to forgive others drives a wedge between us and God and begins to close off the channel of communication with Him. We must completely let go of the wrongs that were done against us, just as Christ forgave us. If we walk in the Spirit, we will be able to let go and forgive in time.

Peace Community, Look at the expense in being complicit + avoidant; Has humanity truly become competent towards violence + nonsense? The silence in the avoidance is suffocating the generation's capability to critically think + remain in consciousness + awareness. Has humanity lost their sense of sanity, dignity + empathy on this planet? A genuine question. Since we've began surfing the internet + joining social platforms there's been a great deal of association + disassociation in the most unhealthy ways amongst generations. I resonate with the process of practicing genuinely connecting, detaching and disassociating but I practice from healthier spaces.  The practice of disassociation + association should be discussed + revisited for current + future generations more often. There's so many things to think about when it comes to both practices. Having knowledge of who, what + why when choosing to associate or disassociate from timelines. There must be a willingness to mindfully exercise these practices while using discernment. How are you actively or inactively, consciously, unconsciously or subconsciously participating + contributing to the problem or solution?

The journey of entrepreneurship, even in tattooing.  where shop owners fight tooth and nail to "make it", is often marked by a series of challenges and uncertainties that test one's resolve. As discussed in the podcast episode, unwavering commitment and a refusal to give up are essential traits for anyone venturing into the entrepreneurial landscape.   Guest Josh Landan emphasizes that while having a clear vision for a business is crucial, it is the commitment to that vision that truly matters. He states, "the unwillingness to give up is real," and candidly admits that he has put himself through "hell" due to his determination to succeed. Josh began his career as a filmmaker, inspired by the surf culture of Southern California. He was deeply influenced by iconic surf movies and the personalities within that world. However, after years of creating films and documentaries, he found himself yearning for a new challenge. This led him to the idea of starting a beer company, St. Archer Brewing, which he envisioned as a brand that truly represented the California lifestyle he cherished—one that encompassed art, film, skating, and surfing.   Aaron shares his journey as a tattoo artist and craftsman, building a.  successful tattoo business while alsoexploring his diverse interests, including philosophy, spiritual growth, and experimentation with hallucinogenics.

Sometimes God places us where we don't want to be. During those times we are rebellious, even angry. Perhaps we should do it anyway, even when we are unwilling. 

Romans 12:1-2

Bruising is needed so that reeds may know they are reeds, not oaks. Reeds need to be bruised because of the pride in our nature, the removal of which lets us live by mercy and faith. It is a difficult thing to bring a dull heart to cry for mercy. Our hearts, like malefactors, until they are beaten from all sides, never naturally cry for mercy from the Judge. But this bruising makes us set a high price upon Christ. It makes us more thankful and more fruitful in our lives. Whatever claim sin has on a man, bruising or breaking is the end of it. This spark of hope, being opposed by doubts and fears arising from the corruption of sin, makes him as smoking flax. Thus, both these together, a bruised reed and smoking flax, make up the state of a poor, distressed man. Our Savior terms such a one as poor in spirit. Christ will not break the bruised reed or quench the smoking flax. Though physicians put their patients through much pain, they will not destroy their patients' bodies but will do their best to heal them. Surgeons will cut, but not dismember. A mother will not cast away a sick or disobedient child. Shall we think there is more mercy in ourselves than in God, who plants the affection of mercy in us? To further declare Christ's mercy to all bruised reeds, consider the comforting relationship He has taken upon Himself of husband, shepherd, and brother, which He will discharge to the utmost. It cannot but cheer the heart of the church to consider, despite all the infirmities and miseries she is subject to, that she has a Bridegroom with a kind disposition. He knows how to give the honor of kindness to the weaker vessel and will be so far from rejecting her because she is weak that He will pity her all the more. He is kind at all times and will speak to her heart, especially when in the wilderness. About the Author Richard Sibbes (1577-1635), an influential Puritan preacher and theologian, served at Gray's Inn, London, after being ordained around 1608. His key writings include The Bruised Reed, The Soul's Conflict With Itself, and The Saint's Safety in Evil Times, and his sermons are preserved in The Works of Richard Sibbes.

Review Lessons 111-120IntroductionOur next review begins today. We will review two recent lessons every day for ten successive days of practicing. We will observe a special format for these practice periods, that you are urged to follow just as closely as you can.We understand, of course, that it may be impossible for you to undertake what is suggested here as optimal each day and every hour of the day. Learning will not be hampered when you miss a practice period because it is impossible at the appointed time. Nor is it necessary that you make excessive efforts to be sure that you catch up in terms of numbers. Rituals are not our aim, and would defeat our goal.But learning will be hampered when you skip a practice period because you are unwilling to devote the time to it that you are asked to give. Do not deceive yourself in this. Unwillingness can be most carefully concealed behind a cloak of situations you cannot control. Learn to distinguish situations that are poorly suited to your practicing from those that you establish to uphold a camouflage for your unwillingness.Those practice periods that you have lost because you did not want to do them, for whatever reason, should be done as soon as you have changed your mind about your goal. You are unwilling to cooperate in practicing salvation only if it interferes with goals you hold more dear. When you withdraw the value given them, allow your practice periods to be replacements for your litanies to them. They gave you nothing. But your practicing can offer everything to you. And so accept their offering and be at peace.The format you should use for these reviews is this: Devote five minutes twice a day, or longer if you would prefer it, to considering the thoughts that are assigned. Read over the ideas and comments that are written down for each day's exercise. And then begin to think about them, while letting your mind relate them to your needs, your seeming problems and all your concerns.Place the ideas within your mind, and let it use them as it chooses. Give it faith that it will use them wisely, being helped in its decisions by the One Who gave the thoughts to you. What can you trust but what is in your mind? Have faith, in these reviews, the means the Holy Spirit uses will not fail. The wisdom of your mind will come to your assistance. Give direction at the outset; then lean back in quiet faith, and let the mind employ the thoughts you gave as they were given you for it to use.You have been given them in perfect trust; in perfect confidence that you would use them well; in perfect faith that you would see their messages and use them for yourself. Offer them to your mind in that same trust and confidence and faith. It will not fail. It is the Holy Spirit's chosen means for your salvation. Since it has His trust, His means must surely merit yours as well.We emphasize the benefits to you if you devote the first five minutes of the day to your reviews, and also give the last five minutes of your waking day to them. If this cannot be done, at least try to divide them so you undertake one in the morning, and the other in the hour just before you go to sleep.The exercises to be done throughout the day are equally important, and perhaps of even greater value. You have been inclined to practice only at appointed times, and then go on your way to other things, without applying what you learned to them. As a result, you have gained little reinforcement, and have not given your learning a fair chance to prove how great are its potential gifts to you. Here is another chance to use it well.In these reviews, we stress the need to let your learning not lie idly by between your longer practice periods. Attempt to give your daily two ideas a brief but serious review each hour. Use one on the hour, and the other one a half an hour later. You need not give more than just a moment to each one. Repeat it, and allow your mind to rest a little time in silence and in peace. Then turn to other things, but try to keep the thought with you, and let it serve to help you keep your peace throughout the day as well.If you are shaken, think of it again. These practice periods are planned to help you form the habit of applying what you learn each day to everything you do. Do not repeat the thought and lay it down. Its usefulness is limitless to you. And it is meant to serve you in all ways, all times and places, and whenever you need help of any kind. Try, then, to take it with you in the business of the day and make it holy, worthy of God's Son, acceptable to God and to your Self.Each day's review assignments will conclude with a restatement of the thought to use each hour, and the one to be applied on each half hour as well. Forget them not. This second chance with each of these ideas will bring such large advances that we come from these reviews with learning gains so great we will continue on more solid ground, with firmer footsteps and with stronger faith.Do not forget how little you have learned.Do not forget how much you can learn now.Do not forget your Father's need of you,As you review these thoughts He gave to you.LESSON 111Review of Lessons 91 - 92For morning and evening review:(91) Miracles are seen in light.I cannot see in darkness.Let the light of holiness and truth light up my mind,and let me see the innocence within.(92) Miracles are seen in light, and light and strength are one.I see through strength, the gift of God to me.My weakness is the dark His gift dispels,by giving me His strength to take its place. On the hour:Miracles are seen in light.On the half hour:Miracles are seen in light, and light and strength are one.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Episode Summary:In this episode, the Vallottons dive into the delicate decision of whether to end a dating relationship. With a focus on self-respect and personal well-being, they explore ten crucial reasons why staying might not be the best option.Show Notes:Abuse: Any form of abuse, be it physical, emotional, or verbal, should never be tolerated in a relationship. Recognizing and addressing abuse is paramount for your safety and mental health.Constant Unresolved Conflict: Relationships are bound to have disagreements, but when conflicts remain unresolved and turn into a pattern, it may signify deeper issues that could be detrimental to the relationship's longevity.No Ownership: Both partners need to take responsibility for their actions and contributions to the relationship. If one or both parties consistently deflect blame or refuse to acknowledge their role in conflicts, it can lead to a toxic dynamic.Lack of Self-Control: When one or both partners struggle with controlling their impulses, emotions, or actions, it can create instability and insecurity within the relationship.Continual Lying: Trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship. Continuous deception erodes this trust and can cause irreparable damage to the relationship's integrity.Lack of Enjoyment: Relationships should bring joy and fulfillment. If you find yourself consistently unhappy or unfulfilled, it's essential to assess whether the relationship is meeting your emotional needs.Core Values Don't Align: Misalignment in core values, such as beliefs, goals, or life priorities, can lead to ongoing conflicts and dissatisfaction within the relationship.Unwillingness to Seek Feedback or Advice: Healthy relationships require open communication and a willingness to seek guidance when needed. If one or both partners refuse to seek outside perspectives or help, it can hinder the relationship's growth and resolution of issues.No Mutual Effort: Successful relationships thrive on mutual effort and investment from both partners. If one person consistently carries the burden of maintaining the relationship or making compromises, it can lead to resentment and imbalance.Lack of Respect: Respect forms the cornerstone of a healthy relationship. If you find yourself lacking respect for your partner or feeling disrespected in return, it may be a sign that the relationship is no longer sustainable.Closing Thoughts:Ending a relationship is never easy, but prioritizing health and keeping a standard is paramount. By recognizing these ten red flags, you can make a more informed decision about whether to stay or go in your dating relationship. We can't be more afraid of being alone than we are willing to keep a healthy standard for our most intimate relationships!Connect with Lauren:InstagramFacebook Connect with Jason:Jay's InstagramJay's FacebookBraveCo Instagramwww.braveco.org

Summary In this conversation, Andrea discusses the concept of the high value woman and addresses the debates and pushback she has received. She explores the definition of a unicorn and questions whether the high value woman can be considered a unicorn. Andrea then outlines the seven elements that make up a high value woman, including independence, the willingness to walk away, and self-awareness. She emphasizes that high value is subjective and encourages individuals to define their own value. Andrea also discusses traits that may not align with high value and the importance of self-reflection. Takeaways High value is a subjective concept and can be defined differently by individuals. The high value woman is not a unicorn, but rather someone who possesses qualities such as independence, self-awareness, and the willingness to walk away. Low value traits include lack of self-respect, over-dependency, dishonesty, manipulation, and unwillingness to communicate or compromise. It is important to define value for oneself and focus on personal growth and self-improvement. Get the Girl: Dating the High Value Woman: https://a.co/d/9xqamWm Defining the HVW Wrote the book on it! My list are possibilities, there is no hard and fast rule This is how I define HV but someone else can define it differently, that's the beauty of having choice and being able to think for ourselves  If he isn't college educated does that mean he's not high value?  Experts in the dating world are defining HVW by their status Defining the Unicorn something unusual, rare, or unique. A person who is very attractive AND has a fabulous personality  YouTube video that went viral about the what a unicorn is  Does that mean anyone else is of low value? Define a low value, it's subjective  Does a woman who lacks self esteem and likes to pick fights a HVW? Lack of Self-Respect: This can manifest in many ways, like constantly putting oneself down, tolerating disrespectful behavior from others, or not standing up for one's own needs and boundaries. Gym pics or half naked selfies  Over-Dependence: While interdependence is healthy in a relationship, over-dependence, either emotionally or financially, without the effort to contribute or improve oneself, can be viewed negatively. Dishonesty and Manipulation: Consistently being dishonest, playing mind games, or manipulating others for personal gain can definitely be seen as "low value" traits. Lack of Ambition or Drive: Having no personal goals, ambitions, or the desire to grow can be a turn-off for many. This isn't about financial success per se, but more about having a passion and zest for life. Unwillingness to Communicate or Compromise: Relationships are a two-way street. An inability or unwillingness to communicate effectively, listen to a partner's needs, or compromise can hinder the growth of a healthy relationship. Chronic Negativity: Constant pessimism, complaining, or seeing the worst in every situation can be draining and unattractive to potential partners. Irresponsibility: This could be in terms of finances, career, personal health, or other obligations. Consistently shirking responsibilities can be a sign of immaturity and unreliability. Hostility or Abusive Behavior: Engaging in verbal, emotional, or physical abuse is not only a "low value" trait but is entirely unacceptable in any relationship. Lack of Empathy: Being unable or unwilling to understand or share the feelings of others can be a major red flag in relationships. Superficiality and Materialism: Focusing solely on surface-level attributes such as looks, money, or social status, while neglecting deeper values and connections. Who decides what to value? The idea of High Value has spiraled  Why we label as HVW because men have been saying how they are attracted to strong independent women, which could be defined as HV We don't like labels  The fight around HV is about saying that if you're not HV then you must be low value Not every thing is black and white 

This entire sick dystopia is held together by psychological compartmentalization. By the fact that it's more comfortable to avoid looking directly at the horrors of the status quo we live under, even though on some level we all know those horrors are there. Reading by Tim Foley.

But you can take certain measures to lower the chances of this happening to you or your children.Don't share explicit images or videos with strangers online. Don't send or post any pictures of yourself online that you wouldn't show your grandmother or boss. Assume that once something is online, you have no control over its distribution.Be extremely cautious about sharing personal, sensitive or intimate information online. Restrict the information you share on social media and adjust privacy settings to limit who can view your posts.Maintain open lines of communication with your children. Make sure they know that they won't get in trouble if they experience online abuse. This way, they'll feel more at ease reaching out for help if something happens.Educate yourself, your children, and your community (especially young people) about online safety, including the risks of sharing explicit content and engaging in intimate conversations with strangers.Consider limiting your children's internet use or spot-check their phones and other devices. Start by selecting appropriate apps and websites, and establish guidelines for access. Open discussions and including them in decisions can build trust and responsibility. Utilize parental control features. Keep tabs on the people your children are communicating with; this can be part of an open and ongoing conversation about what is (and isn't) appropriate online. It also may be worth considering a rule against devices in bedrooms overnight or shutting off Wi-Fi access after a certain time.Treat online interactions with the same skepticism as you would with strangers in real life. Help your children learn to have a healthy skepticism of strangers online and identify red flags that they may not be who they claim. SOSA recommends making this lesson interactive by creating a fake profile together, which will help them truly see how easy it is for someone to fake their identity. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children also has resources, videos, and games to help younger children and teens understand online risks.Use strong, unique passwords for all your online accounts. Enable two-factor authentication whenever possible to add an extra layer of security. When not in use, turn off devices - especially those with cameras, microphones, or webcams - to prevent unauthorized access. Don't click on links in e-mails from people you don't know.If someone exhibits concerning behavior, threatens you, or asks for explicit content, report them to the platform administrators and, if necessary, law enforcement.Grooming warning signsWhat to know about online abuse and traumaWays to prevent groomingWhat to do when a predator contacts your childGet Help:If you, your child or a loved one becomes a victim of sextortion, try to remain calm. Remember, sextortion is a crime, and the predator is to blame, not your child or you.Do not comply with the sextortionist's demands, whether they involve sending more explicit content, money, or anything else. Giving in to their demands rarely stops the harassment and can lead to more serious problems.Save all conversations, chats, or messages exchanged with the sextortionist. Do not delete your profiles or the messages exchanged. If financial demands are involved, document any transactions made. Record any telephone numbers, email addresses, usernames and profiles you might have received from the person. This evidence can be crucial for any potential investigations or legal actions.Many resources advise blocking the perpetrator, but SOSA recommends waiting until law enforcement advises you to do so, because blocking the person could result in losing access to their information.Contact law enforcement right away. Reporting the incident is key to stopping the perpetrator and getting help. Contact your local law enforcement or local FBI field office. You can also call 1-800-CALL-FBI, or report it online at tips.fbi.gov.If a minor is involved, contact the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678) or report online sex abuse to NCMEC's CyberTipline.Reach out to a trusted adult or friend for emotional support and guidance. If you don't feel that you have adults in your corner, you can reach out to NCMEC for support at gethelp@ncmec.org or call 1-800-THE-LOST.If you or your child is struggling emotionally due to the incident, consider seeking professional help from therapists or counselors specializing in trauma or cyberbullying.Get it removed. Most social media platforms, websites, and apps have mechanisms to flag inappropriate content. Some platforms offer customer support that you can reach out to directly. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children's "Take It Down" program helps remove images of minors. Visit cybertipline.org to get NCMEC's help or missingkids.org/IsYourExplicitContentOutThere to learn how to notify companies.Report it, because if someone threatens to share explicit images of you, they're likely also threatening others.Red Flags:Remember that these red flags should not be taken in isolation. It's important to consider the overall context and the combination of behaviors you observe. Trust your instincts – if something feels off or uncomfortable, it's better to be cautious and seek advice or report the situation to appropriate authorities.Rapid Escalation: Be cautious if an online relationship becomes very intense or personal too quickly. Sextortion perpetrators often try to establish an emotional connection rapidly to gain trust and manipulate victims.Emotional Manipulation: Watch out for attempts to emotionally manipulate you, such as playing on your feelings of loneliness or insecurity, asking you to keep secrets, and making you follow rules about your interactions.Pressure and Coercion: Any form of pressuring, guilt-tripping, or coercing you into doing something you're uncomfortable with, including sharing explicit content, is a red flag.Explicit Content Requests: If someone you're communicating with online asks for explicit photos, videos, or personal information, it's a major red flag. Legitimate relationships should be built on trust, respect, and consent.Threats and Demands: Any form of threat, whether it's about exposing compromising material or causing harm to you or your loved ones, should be taken seriously.Reluctance to Meet in Person: If the person you're communicating with avoids meeting in person or provides excuses to not reveal their identity, this could indicate ulterior motives.Platform Switching: If someone initiates contact on one platform but pressures you to move conversations to another platform, especially if it offers increased privacy or anonymity, exercise caution. Perpetrators often aim to control the environment.Inconsistent Identity: If the person's stories, photos, or details about their life don't align or seem inconsistent, it could indicate a fake identity. Images and videos can be altered or stolen, and don't assume they're proof of someone's identity.Too Good to Be True: While compliments are normal, excessive flattery might be a tactic to manipulate emotions and lower defenses. Be cautious of individuals who offer gifts, money, job opportunities, or promises that seem too good to be true.Unwillingness to Share Personal Information: If the person avoids sharing their own personal details and only focuses on obtaining your information, it's a potential sign of manipulation. Source materials for this episode cannot be listed here due to character limitations.

9 - 26 - 23 | "Moving From A Place Of Unwillingness" | Rev. Jared Marks by Cornerstone Pentecostal Church Spokane

Unwillingness to forgive is how we look to protect ourselves. We think it will keep us from being hurt or taken advantage of again. But it really builds a wall between us and everyone else, including God. Discovering the keys to forgiveness is empowering. And choosing it is freeing. (Talk by Joshua Ott)
