Ernest Hemingway told the story: there was a father and his teenage son, whose relationship got so strained, the boy ran away from home. His father began then the journey -- searching for his rebellious son. Finally in Madrid, in a last desperate effort to find him, the father placed an ad in the newspaper. It simply read: "Dear Paco, Meet me in front of the newspaper office at noon. All is forgiven. I love you. Your father." When the father arrived the next day he saw the staggering sight: eight hundred sons named Paco were there in front of the newspaper office -- all wanting forgiveness and all hungering for the love of their father.
We pardon to the degree that we love. And so does our Father. (Luke 15)
