"We have no proof of your guilt," said the judge. "If you are guilty, make the most of this and change your life. If you are innocent, forgive the accusation. There is no greater prison than unforgiveness. You are free to go." With that, he stumbled out into the sunlight and his family with him. It was a new day.
... and a new chance.

DeleteHi Sandi,
ReplyDeleteEphesians 4:31-32: "Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."

ReplyDeleteforgiveness will set you free
ReplyDeleteA very good explanation of our system in which people are innocent until proven guilty. I'm sorry that people are tearing at our system when it really is the best. What matters in court is not how you feel about something but about hard evidence. Show the evidence in court and prove your case. We should allow you that. After all, justice is of God
ReplyDeleteYes. Excellent points. Thanks, Cloudia.
