Sometimes there is hard...
Sometimes there is hard service we are asked to perform for our sins. We have a girl who is completing her prison term and has learned her lesson, so we speak tenderly to her. When we look back on our lives we often see that God has put us through painful experiences from which to learn.
Some don't like to get something for nothing. They are too proud. God tells us that the forgiveness of our sins is not for nothing. It cost a great deal. It is because God is the one who has paid for our sin at great cost. We can't do it.
