  work in our lives. True freedom requires first
  recognizing that many of todays problems have
  their roots in our sinful responses to
  yesterdays wounds.
• We are reconciled to God and one another when we
• Recognise the destructive patterns in our lives
• Forgive those who hurt us, and ourselves
