I began reading my friend JT Clark’s new book last night. It is an amazing biography and story of forgiveness and a life well lived.
Since first meeting JT and learning about the journey God has Him on I have been leaning in to listen and to watch what God does through JT, his wife Terri Lee and now their ministry “My Brother’s Crossing”.
Boiling down to the heart of the story is the need for forgiveness. Some of us have a hard time giving forgiveness and often receiving forgiveness. If we following what God says, we will understand just how much we are forgiven. If we do what God leads us to do, we will forgive even when forgiveness isn’t understandable.
Colossians 3:13 NLT
Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.
Ephesians 4:32 NLT
Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
I challenge you to dig in to God’s word about forgiveness. Accept it. Give it. Listen to the stories of others, those like JT and Terri Lee Clark. It might change your life.
Now, go get a copy of this awesome book … In the Blink of an Eye: Forgiveness in Black and White https://www.amazon.com/Blink-Eye-Forgiveness-Black-White/dp/164088145X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1542687565&sr=8-1&keywords=in+the+blink+of+an+eye+clark
