Dear Pastor,

I'm a man who has destroyed many lives out of spite when I was hurt by the flesh. I know now that I was wrong. I wish to apologise to all those persons I have hurt, especially my first wife who has now come to know the Lord. It was not my intention to be wicked, but I had a policy, "treat me well, multiply it by ten and that is what I give back; treat me badly, multiply it by one hundred and that's what I return."

be good

Needless to say, my four children got hurt also. I was never with any of their mothers for any period of time, due to my attitude. I want others to know that you must do good as long as you live, even if the ones you care about hurt you beyond measure.

May God bless you and keep up the good work as I find joy in your wisdom. Your column was one of the reasons why I decided to change my life for the better.

Dear T.L.,

You claim to have done wrong things because you were hurt by others. However, I am glad that you are now a changed person. I am also very happy to know that my column has helped you. Have you considered making a total commitment to Christ? You would find life to be much more meaningful and enjoyable.

My prayers are with you. Never hesitate to say sorry to those you know you have hurt.

Pastor
