“From God’s perspective, one hidden act of repentance, one little gesture of selfless love, one moment of true forgiveness is all that is needed to bring God from his throne to run to his returning son and to fill the heavens wit sounds of divine joy.” — Henri J. M. Nouwen, The Return of the Prodigal Son, pg 116
