這一周的主題是寬恕。牧師提到了上帝對我們的寬恕是無條件的，可是很多時候是我們不能原諒自己或者不能原諒他人。我們走不出過去的陰影，於是讓自己活在良心的責備和對往事的悔恨之中。也許更重要的是學會從過去學會教訓，學會忘記過去，原諒自己，並走好以後的路，因為上帝是希望我們能走好未來的路並在未來的道路上明白上帝的道理，活得健康而快樂。至此的另外一個收穫時得到一首詩歌，可以很好地描述做一個基督徒應該有的態度。

When I say… “I am a Christian”

When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not shouting “I am saved”
I’m whispering “I was lost”
That is why I chose this way.

When I say… “I am a Christian”
I don’t speak of this with pride.
I’m confessing that I stumble
And need someone to be my guide.

When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not trying to be strong.
I’m professing that I’m weak
And pray for strength to carry on.

When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not bragging of success.
I’m admitting I have failed
And cannot ever pay the debt.

When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are all too visible,
But God believes I’m worth it.

When I say… “I am a Christian”
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
Which is why I speak His name.

When I say… “I am a Christian”
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority
I only know I’m loved.
