The racial
divide in America caused a former missionary to lose her internal battle to be
silent. An excerpt from her lengthy Facebook post said, “Several years ago my
father-in-law spoke with Elijah, a black man from South Africa. He asked Elijah
how he kept himself from hating white people for the crimes committed during
apartheid. Elijah said, “I forgive in advance. Whatever is done against me, I
have already forgiven the wrong before it was ever done to me.”” Jesus said, “Therefore
I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it,
and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything
against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your
sins” (Mark 11:24-25 NIV).
