The guai-est kid in my class punched a friend this week and he bought a gift to say "sorry" to that friend.

"How do you feel when you passed the gift to him?"
"A bit... scared?"
"You don't have to feel scared because you are already forgiven, ok?"

My reply ministered to myself so much. As said in 1 John 4:18, "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."

Thank You, Lord.
