God brings men into deep waters not to drown them, but to cleanse them.
From Hebrews 10:22-23: “Let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who has promised is faithful.”
James H. Aughey (1828-1911) was an American minister. During the Civil War, he was imprisoned and scheduled to be executed for his anti-Secession and pro-Union beliefs. Fortunately, he was able to escape from his Confederate captors and reached the lines of the Union army.

From Ephesians 4:31-32: “Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.”
Faith filled with truth from Father
Anger rests with setting sun
Leaving quicksand’s bitterness
Forgiven through mercy’s Son
Eyes upon Calvary’s cross
Ultimate action of grace
Forgiven through Savior’s blood
His love takes sin’s former place
We, too, are called to forgive
Ourselves as well as others
Casting aside emotions
Now loving one another
Holding back words of darkness
Kindness leads each blessed day
Forgiving as Christ forgives
Holy Spirit leads faith’s way
Walking in shadow of grace
Forgiveness mends one more heart
Embracing love’s character
Trust in hope’s renewing start
From the words of American pastor and Christian author, Max Lucado: “Bitterness is the trap that snares the hunter.”
