PLEASE JOIN US ON http://www.radioveritas.co.za ON WEDNESDAY 24 JULY 9-10AM AS GRANDPARENTS PRAY FOR OUR GRANDCHILDREN.

July 23.  Paul shared, “The words faithfulness and mercy often seem to come together in the bible.  To me they aren’t quite the same but are related. To be faithful – as we discovered in 49 years of marriage – you do need to practise mercy, quite often.  Forgive before being asked, forgive even if you don’t want to.   And one does those things because of love, a love that is strong and can endure.’  They sat quietly for a moment and eventually Joann shared, “We were able to decide to love for all those years.  For our son and his family and maybe others, the loving thing could be for a couple to separate if things just don’t work.”  

Reflect, share, scripture: Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passion over transgressions? He does not retain his anger for ever because he delights in mercy. He will again have compassion upon us. Micah 7:18-20     Pope Francis:  Many people leave childhood without ever having felt unconditional love.  This affects their ability to be trusting and open. Unresolved issues need to be dealt with and a process of liberation must take place.  In some cases respect for one’s own dignity and the good of the children requires not giving in to excessive demands or preventing a grave injustice, violence or chronic ill-treatment. In such cases separation becomes inevitable. AL 240-1  ACTION AND PRAYER.   Consider your personal the realities in order to find peace.
