Likewise

With ever grateful hearts, aware of all that God gives and forgives, we are invited to gratefully go and do likewise - to love as God loves, to forgive as God forgives - without measure. When so much mercy has been lavished upon us over and over again, how can we not forgive, not love, not show mercy and compassion in return? That would simply be ungrateful and so foolish. As Paul reminds the Corinthians, “Christ's love compels us.” Literally, it grips us, grabs us, presses in on us.
