[Ohio-Communities-of-Faith] White Flag Of The Heart

[Maggie Stringer]

Maybe your past isn’t much to brag about. So do you rise above the past and
make a difference? Or do you remain controlled by the past and make
excuses? Many choose the latter. Lean closely and you will hear them say,
“If only…” *If only I’d been born somewhere else… **If only I’d been
treated fairly…  If only: *the white flag of the heart.

Maybe you have every right to use those words. For you to find an ancestor
worth imitating you’d have to flip way back in your family album. If that’s
the case, let me show you were to turn. Put down the scrapbook and pick up
your Bible. Go to John’s gospel and read Jesus’ words: Human life comes
from human parents, but spiritual life comes from the Spirit” (John 3:6).
God is willing to give you what your family did not.
