    My life.

    Mercy Sunday 2022

    The father's love would open up the son's heart and that would lead to deeper conversion and acknowledgment of what he did. To speak about one's sin' leads to deep healing, it gets it outside of oneself and placed before another. Yes, God's mercy is instant, we need to catch up so to speak...
