But most Christians incorrectly assume that this means that being a good christian means forgiving all sins, and the sinners.”

You won’t always succeed, but knowing you’ve tried your best will carry you through. And sometimes, when you do succeed in making your hopes real, it allows all the beauty of being here on this earth to fill you up with joy.”
