God never tires of forgiving us.

The Saints were not superhuman. They were people who loved God in their hearts, and who shared this joy with others.

We need to 'go out,' then, in order to experience our own anointing, its power and its redemptive efficacy: to the 'outskirts' where there is suffering, bloodshed, blindness that longs for sight, and prisoners in thrall to many evil masters.
