INTO THE CORE
Colossians 3:5-17
Ah! now we’re digging down to the underpinning. The forgiving spirit! That touches the inner core of the thing. Not things not done, not words spoken merely, nor even kindly acts done, but the breath that penetrates one’s being like an atmosphere, and sends a perfume, intangible but real, and as fragrant as wild roses, into the nostrils of the other one. That is forgiveness. That is God. That is human, the real human.
