I had a friend e-mail me this and I thought it very encouraging.

Two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey, they had an argument and one friend slapped the other one in the face.

The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand, "Today my best friend slapped me in the face."

They kept on walking, until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath.

The one who had been slapped, got stuck in the mire and started to drown but the friend saved him.

After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone, "Today my best friend saved my life."The friend who had slapped and saved this best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand. And now, you write on a stone. Why?"

The friend replied, "When someone hurts us, we should write it in sand so the winds of forgiveness can erase it. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where the wind or waves of time can never erase it.

Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was like engraving it in stone. The world, the Earth, nor the devil can never erase His forgiveness.
