God values conciliation very much. And the responsibility is mine, not yours. I can’t serve God while I know that you hold something against me.
¿Qué se ve vivir en paz con otros? Si dependo de Dios para darme todas las cosas buenas, no las esperaré de otras personas. Y, cuando nada estuvo dicho, yo no debía asumir nada.
