The Heart at the Altar

A snail and a camellia reflect on Matthew 5:23-24: "A heart with a grudge God's heart will not budge."

Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

Matthew 5:23-24

A heart with a grudge
God’s heart will not budge.

Traditional Chinese Translation

人懐着一顆怨恨的心,
上帝的心也不會饒恕他。
