这一周的主题是宽恕。牧师提到了上帝对我们的宽恕是无条件的，可是很多时候是我们不能原谅自己或者不能原谅他人。我们走不出过去的阴影，于是让自己活在良心的责备和对往事的悔恨之中。也许更重要的是学会从过去学会教训，学会忘记过去，原谅自己，并走好以后的路，因为上帝是希望我们能走好未来的路并在未来的道路上明白上帝的道理，活得健康而快乐。至此的另外一个收获时得到一首诗歌，可以很好地描述做一个基督徒应该有的态度。

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.
