by which Jesus' followers seek to live,
in both their public and private lives,
are his unchanging values
of love and forgiveness,
justice and mercy,
compassion and generosity of spirit....
To build your life on Christ's values is hard enough, but we are judged,
not on whether we succeed,
but on whether we deeply desire to do so
and are not deterred by repeated failure."
(Michael Mayne, To Trust and To Love, p. 76)
