“And whenever you may stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, that your Father who is in the heavens may also forgive you your trespasses; and, if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your trespasses.”

– George Macdonald
“If we do not die to ourselves, we cannot live to God,
and he that does not live to God, is dead.”
