Run the Race is a great movie about the power of forgiveness and the bridges that forgiveness can build. It’ a great story of how no one is beyond saving and we should never give up on people.
My childhood friends from church never gave up on me. They were always there for me and never stopped praying. They never compromise themselves or approved of my choices during my time of ignoring God. But there were always there.
When I finally made the decision to change my life. They immediately jumped in to help and encourage me to stick with my decision.
My friends and my mom never gave up on me and so when I made that choice I knew that I could go to them without any fear or condemnation.
Extending forgiveness and keeping the door open, creates a safe place for people to come when they have questions or choose to make a change.
Never under estimate the power of prayer and an open door.
Like leaving the door open when you baking cookies, eventually someone is going to smell the warm comforting sweetness and come in.
