Without forgiveness there is no love.
Without love there is no growth.
Without growth there is no continuing life.

When in the Gospels Christ heals and forgives he also sends out.

Go, he says, and use your giftedness.
Go, now you are set free for mission.
Go, and live out fully the life that you have been given.
