I found great comfort in the article “My birthday present: forgiveness” in the July 22 & July 29, 2013, Sentinel on page 8. I was experiencing criticism and disparaging remarks from a beloved family member who was visiting, and I turned daily to the passages of this article to be reminded of the truth about my relationship with God. 

I was able to avoid adding “barbs” to the arrows of others and to declare continually to myself that I do not need the approval of others because I am approved of by God. Using the concepts found in this article I was also able to bring comfort and support to my husband through this trying time. 

Thank you for these teachings and insights. I was struck as well by the perfect timing: On the day I chose to read my Sentinel, I found exactly the truths I needed. God is “a very present help in trouble” (Psalms 46), and the Sentinel is truly an uplifting periodical. Thank you for all you do.
