Western governments. . . will lose the war against dealers unless efforts are switched to prevention and therapy. . . All penalties for drug users should be dropped. . . Making drug abuse a crime is useless and even dangerous. . . Every year we seize more and more drugs and arrest more and more dealers but at the same time the quantity available in our countries still increases. . . Police are losing the drug battle worldwide.
Timothy Keller
Only if you first seek inner forgiveness will your confrontation be temperate, wise, and gracious. Only when you have lost the need to see the other person hurt will you have any chance of actually bringing about change, reconciliation, and healing. You have to submit to the costly suffering and death of forgiveness if there is going to be any resurrection.
