Forgive and love , love and forgive . This is the pattern of life and living which the Father seeks in each of His beloved children . And it is the context of their life in Him . If they refuse forgiveness to their fellows they stop up that flow of love which constantly He pours into the soul of each unless it is refused . I am that love , and I stand outside the unforgiving heart waiting for entrance as forgiveness is freely and loving given . Then I return and flood the heart and mind and soul.
