Cornerstone

This 2016 election has been a difficult and divisive election and horrible words have been said and not just from politicians. 
 
As human beings all too often we say mean and spiteful words or withhold our communication.
 
Perhaps out of hurt, bitterness, anger or fear, our words and even our silence  can wound a loved one, friend, co-worker and even a stranger as surely as a sharp edge knife cuts into the flesh; but with words of anger and bitterness  the wound rarely heals. 
 
One film critic said it best, “the worst prisons are the ones we build ourselves.”  Invisible walls are built, families are torn apart, and missed opportunities are lost.  Life happens in an instant but can take a life time to unravel. 
 

Through God’s grace we have been saved, but often we fail to extend that same grace of forgiveness to someone who has hurt us. If you have said something, or been the victim of someone else’s hurtful words, address it NOW through  PRAYER, and FORGIVE.  Grace is powerful and mends wounds.
