The main reason [we do not forgive others is] because we don't want to. You might not want to forgive because you want to see them suffer for what they did. You might not want to forgive because you want them to feel the same hurt that they made us to feel. You might not want to forgive because you want to give them the message that if they hurt me then they will feel pain also, so they better think twice about hurting me again. You might not want to forgive because you are angry or frustrated. You might not want to forgive because you want revenge. You might not want to forgive because you enjoy playing the victim. You might not want to forgive because you really don't like that person and you want to keep it that way.

INSTRUCTIONS

In the bowl of an electric mixer beat the eggs and the sugar for 4 to 6
minutes, or until the mixture is thick and pale, add melted chocolate, the
butter, the vanilla, the espresso, the flour, the salt and the baking
powder, and beat the mixture on the lowest setting until it is combined
well.  Add the chocolate chips and the walnuts and beat the dough until it
is combined well. In a sheet of parchment paper, form the dough into a log,
4 inches in diameter, wrap it in wax paper, and chill it for 3 hours, or
until it is firm.
Cut the log into 1-inch-thick rounds, arrange the rounds 2 inches apart on
baking sheets lined with parchment paper, and bake them in batches in the
middle of a preheated 350F oven for 15 minutes, or until the tops are shiny
and cracked slightly.  (The cookies will be very soft.) Transfer the baking
sheets to racks and let the cookies cool completely before removing them
from the sheets. (The cookies will firm up as they cool.) Makes about 12
cookies.

A Message from our Provider:

“With Jesus, you can do it”

Discipline with dignity, then, involves not only structure that is set up to see to it that goals are reached. That is necessary, but it also considers the personal conviction of the child to do what God says to be even more vital. He was made in the image of God, and he must be reached in his heart with God’s Word. It is this message that speaks of a loving Lord who came and gave Himself for His people which first must touch our children’s hearts, bringing them to repentance and faith. Parents must lead them to repentance, lead them to conviction of sin, and bring them to the Savior. And then they must continue to show them what He wants and continue to motivate them, not just with the rod, but also by the cross.
