Cambodia/Power of Forgiveness

The most powerful weapon we have as believer's to fend off hate and evil is the weapon of forgiveness. When life takes a turn for the worst we have a choice. We can veer off to the left and fill our hearts with hatred, revenge toward those who have wronged us, or we can integrate what Jesus has taught us about the forgiving our enemies.  Many learn to forgive, but still many hang onto resentments and hatred the rest of their lives when life takes a nasty turn

We play the blame game and refuse to talk to people thinking that things will get better once they repent of their wrong. Months, years and even decades go by without any reconciliation.  Forgiveness becomes a distant far away cousin who is now forgotten.  Hatred and hardened hearts have become your new friends.

The gentleman you are about to see in this video had every reason to be angry and filled with hatred and revenge until the Lord got his attention and changed his heart.  This is a powerful story about how the power of forgiveness has brought thousands to the Lord Jesus Christ because he was willing to lay down his anger and his need to seek revenge.

Won't you take time to contact a friend, family member, or distant relative you haven't talked to because of a falling out and forgive that person. By doing so you are restoring that relationship to it's proper balance and with that you will experience the peace of God.  That alone is worth the power of forgiveness!
