Forgiveness

>"Some people come into our lives and quickly go, Some stay and make footprints in our hearts And we are never ever the same".


Forgiveness a powerful but underrated force

In the jungles of South American was a remote primitive tribe of Indians that had little or no contact with the outside world. They lived hard lives and difficult lives. Many of their children died before reaching one year old. Their life expectancy was only 35 years. If a person reached the age of forty they were considered very old.

The government tried to reach them, but they killed any stranger that came into their land. Because they were so savage no one would venture into their area.

Yet, a missionary named Jim Ellott, learned about them and had a deep burden to carry the Gospel to them. It was a hard and dangerous under taking, yet Jim Ellott knew they needed to hear of their Creator and God. There were several attempts made, and them they went in on foot to try and make contact with the primitive people. After not hearing from them for sometime an exposdition was sent in to try and see what had happened. They found Jim Ellott and his companions all slain beside a river. They people they went in to help had murdered them.

Later his wife was able to return with the help of a native girl from the village, and in time some of the very natives who had killed her husband came to Jesus Christ and were saved.

May today there be peace within.
May you trust your highest power that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into our bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing and dance. It is there for each and every one of you
