Extremely Powerful 5-Minute Video of Forgiveness

Meeting James Coffey at Subway
The Lord works in such wonderful ways, and why we are surprised when his fingerprints are all over an amazing interaction? On 9/25/19, I had one of these special events only God could have orchestrated.
I was about to attend the 2019 annual meeting of the Consortium of Global Education (a great organization), and I needed lunch. I left the hotel and walked to a Subway nearby. At one table, there was a man I will never forget who was talking to a lady. I later learned that he was discipling her.
When she went to the bathroom, he said to me, “I see that you are a praying man.” I had given thanks before eating my sandwich, and I said I was. He said that he was, too. I asked him about his journey with the Lord, and he told me a story which you can hear in this 4 1/2-minute video my new friend James has given me permission to share with you.
Forgiveness
I hope you enjoyed this video as much as I did. What a wonderful reminder of the power of forgiveness and what our Lord has done for us. May we all look at our lives and explore where we have not forgiven others. Truly forgiving others who have hurt us will glorify God.
But there is more. James Coffey said his father told him he was ready to go to the Lord. “In doing that, it released him. I mean you could see the weight lifted off him, but it also lifted the weight off me, and I look forward to seeing him in heaven.” Who in your life do you need to forgive?
