Dear brother,I SO agree I just weathcd the movie Gandhi (the 1982 version with Ben Kingsley) WOW. The things that man accomplished by speaking the Truth in love and without violence! Reconciliation IS a work of the Spirit, not of the flesh. I am reminded of the parable in the Bible where a peasant owed a king a great deal of money. The king forgave him the debt, and on the way home, the peasant had a physical altercation with someone who owed HIM a small amount of money. The king was not too pleased with his behavior OR his attitude.We are ALL, at different points in our lives, either the one who needs forgiven or the one who is forgiving. Such is life on a fallen planet!
