" You're right. You don't deserve it. Love and forgiveness are not something you earn. They are gifts. My, my, have I neglected your education so terribly? My dear boy, none of us can do enough good deeds to atone for our own failings. If we could, God would not have had to send the Son He loved into the world to die for us "

― Julie Klassen , An Ivy Hill Christmas (Tales from Ivy Hill)
