From the Pastor

From the Pastor

Psalm 50:1-6
 1The mighty one, God the Lord, has spoken;
  calling the earth from the rising of the sun  to its setting.
 2Out of Zion, perfect in its beauty,
  God shines | forth in glory. 
 3Our God will come and will not keep silence;
  with a consuming flame before, and round about a  raging storm.
 4God calls the heavens and the earth  from above
  to witness the judgment of the people.
 5“Gather before me my loyal followers,
  those who have made a covenant with me and sealed  it with sacrifice.”
 6The heavens declare the rightness of God’s cause,
  for it is God  who is judge. 
----------
“Forgiveness is a process - a journey. As much as we might like forgiveness to be a ‘forgive and forget’ moment, lives do not work that way. Old hurts have a way of resurfacing as we are led to examine a new facet of a wound we hoped had healed. Forgiveness is a commitment to face life with a posture that risks rather than protects, while also struggling with the fact that there are times when protection is the wise choice.”
-Susan L. Nelson, "The Freeing Grace of Forgiveness," Presbyterians Today, March 1998, 16.
----------
Something to ponder today.
Peace and blessings this day.
Pastor V.
