I have seen life when I finish speaking those words and see the gleam in the forgiven one’s eyes and the twitch of lips beginning to smile. I so much want everyone to experience this in confession. These are some of the times when it seems the Lord is so evidently working through me when I, too, am moved with compassion. Like the Father, I experience loving unconditionally. The more people reveal themselves, the more my heart is moved with compassion. I have found that I see them with even greater love.
