God will hold us accountable if we neglect His daughters. He has given us a great and compelling trust. May we be faithful to that trust.

I think [forgiveness] may be the greatest virtue on earth, and certainly the most needed. There is so much of meanness and abuse, of intolerance and hatred. There is so great a need for repentance and forgiveness. It is the great principle emphasized in all of scripture, both ancient and modern. Somehow forgiveness, with love and tolerance, accomplishes miracles that can happen in no other way.

We are creatures of our thinking. We can talk ourselves into defeat or we can talk ourselves into victory.
