The Power of Repentance to Rewrite the Record

July 28, 2017

This animated short contrasts the consuming quality of envy, anger, and hate with the overwhelming power of love and forgiveness. It also depicts the possibility of repentance upon recognizing the damage caused.

In the video, a little girl’s written resentments of her older sister spring forth from her diary to wreak their havoc. Witnessing the frightening result and trying to halt the damage, the young girl tears the passages from her journal. She then attempts to create a repentant, loving message from the shredded remnants. It is a very creative illustration of how God puts our sins behind Him and remembers them no more. Enjoy!

There is a back doctor who recommends writing down everything that bugs you and then tearing up the papers. He says that this alone can resolve a lot of back pain.

Does it work?

I can imagine that statement coming from a psychiatrist, but from a back doctor?

Hmmmm!
