Ryan paced the floor complaining about Timothy whom he paraded for judgement through his mind. His indignation was so rationally air-tight that he built a dam of condemnation out of it.
Then a miracle happened. Ryan had a vision of how much the Lord loved Timothy in spite of every accusation Ryan could concoct against him.
When Ryan’s own repentance breached the dam, he didn’t know what overcame him. His heart was flooded with joy.

I like this line very much.
Letting go of, forgiveness – there are rewards we cannot know until we are genuinely in that state.
Good Six, Frank.
