"When you love a child, you forgive her before she can even ask. Basically you've already forgiven her for things she hasn't even done yet."

Previous Quote

And there, right in the middle of it, I find 'Forgive us our sins as we forgive those that sin against us.' There is no slightest suggestion that we are offered forgiveness on any other terms. It is made perfectly clear that if we do not forgive we shall not be forgiven.

— C. S. Lewis
