Only one thing is more powerful than the destructive force of bitterness. And that is the cleansing force of forgiveness. I don't know how God made it possible for people who are victims of horrible abuse and mistreatment to be able to forgive. But I am thankful that Jesus made a way. Do you really think about the amazing gift that we were given when we were forgiven? I don't. Not very often anyway.
We spent a lot of time this weekend coming to terms with a world so lost and broken that it would hurt innocent little children. But God made a way for us to overcome it. But the road is the way of forgiveness not bitterness.

Yep! Yesterday & today I was counseling a 'foster child' with such a tough past. I just want to CRY for them, and then I am flooded with the amazing blood of Jesus and the precious Holy Spirit, and I remember HE is more than enough and nothing is too difficult for HIM. That brings me to my knees, as I humbly see my lack of ability yet know HIS capability. I am so thankful for his watchcare over me throughout my life.
