The Grace Card

Last night I watched a movie with a story about bitterness and forgiveness. Bitterness has a way of eating into our lives. It begins destroying the very things we love; our work, our families. God calls to love those who have hurt us, wronged us and those we deeply dislike, even hate.  We seek justice to bring us peace! But Justice never brings peace!!! We feel we become "men" by avenging; but true manliness is being able to forgive. Only forgiveness can heal our deepest wounds, restore relationships and make us whole again. This forgiveness is called grace....being able to forgive and love even the unworthy, the sinner, the criminal, the very ones who have destroyed our lives, even the ones we hate! When we allow grace to work in our lives...we play the grace card...and the card passes on from one to another….bringing healing and newness! The movie is called "The grace card" and is worth a watch! Here's a trailer of the movie!!

There is anger even in the soil, the river running, its waters boil.. and scorched and parched the winds become while the living creatures are scared and numb. Where will they run when fire surrounds? and chased are they by anger's hounds! Then I get pointed to a mystery, There's only one magical key... when love holds strong in its beauty, the depth of forgiveness, is victory.. for fire can't quench old fire's thirst some one has to begin.... forgiveness first. The bruises may take time to heal, But no more let the robber steal.... Each live's precious hopes and dignity each deep trust and every liberty... For when you turn forgiveness' key It will unclasp and set you free! Ephesians 1:7  In who...
