How To Forgive (WOW)
> >> One day a while back, a man, his heart heavy with grief, was
> >> walking
> >> in the woods. As he thought about his life this day, he knew many
> >> things were not right. He thought about those who had lied about
> >> him back when he had a job.
> >> His thoughts turned to those who had stolen his things and
>cheated
> >> him.
> >> He remembered family that had passed on. His mind turned to the
> >> illness he had that no one could cure. His very soul was filled
> >> with anger, resentment and
>frustration.
> >> Standing there this day, searching for answers he could not
>find,
> >> knowing all else had failed him, he knelt at the base of an old oak
> >> tree to seek the one he knew would always be there. And with tears
> >> in his eyes, he prayed:
> >> "Lord- You have done wonderful things for me in this life. You
> >> have
> >> told me to do many things for you, and I happily obeyed. Today, you
> >> have told me to forgive. I am sad, Lord, because I cannot. I don't
> >> know how.
> >> It is not fair Lord. I didn't deserve these wrongs that were
>done
> >> against me and I shouldn't have to forgive. As perfect as your way
> >> is Lord, this one thing I cannot do, for I don't know how to
> >> forgive. My anger is so deep Lord, I fear I may not hear you, but I
> >> pray that you teach me to do this one thing I cannot do - Teach me
> >> To Forgive."
> >> As he knelt there in the quiet shade of that old oak tree, he
>felt
> >> something fall onto his shoulder. He opened his eyes. Out of the
> >> corner of one eye, he saw something red on his shirt.
> >> He could not turn to see what it was because where the oak tree
> >>
>had
> >> been was a large square piece of wood in the ground. He raised his
> >> head and saw two feet held to the wood with a large spike through
> >> them.
> >> He raised his head more, and tears came to his eyes as he saw
> >> Jesus
> >> hanging on a cross. He saw spikes in His hands, a gash in His side,
> >> a torn and battered body, deep thorns sunk into His head. Finally
> >> he saw the suffering and pain on His precious face. As their eyes
> >> met, the man's tears turned to sobbing, and Jesus began to speak.
> >> "Have you ever told a lie?" He
>asked?
> >> The man answered - "yes, Lord."
> >> "Have you ever been given too much change and kept it?"
> >> The man answered - " yes. Lord." And the man sobbed more and
> >> more.
> >> "Have you ever taken something from work that wasn't yours?"
>Jesus
> >> asked?
> >> And the man answered - "yes, Lord."
> >> "Have you ever sworn, using my Father's name in vain? "
> >> The man, crying now, answered - "yes, Lord."
> >> As Jesus asked many more times, "Have
>you ever"? The man's crying
> >> became uncontrollable, for he could only answer - "yes, Lord."
> >> Then Jesus turned His head from one side to the other, and the
>man
> >> felt something fall on his other shoulder. He looked and saw that
> >> it was the blood of Jesus. When he looked back up, his eyes met
> >> those of Jesus, and there was a look of love the man had never seen
> >> or known before.
> >> Jesus said, "I didn't deserve this either, but I forgive you."
> >> It may be hard to see how you're going to get through something,
> >> but
> >> when you look back in life,
>you realize how true this statement is.
> >> Read the following first line slowly and let it sink in.
> >> If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it.
> >> Lord I love You and I need You, come into my heart, today. For
> >> without You I can do nothing.
> >> A beautiful drawing and message!
> >> Short but powerful!

> >> When Jesus died on the cross, he was thinking of you! If you are
