Kim Phuc

As I was reading the story of Kim Phuc, I was moved to the big step she took to wipe her past behind her. Although the scars still remain, she has learned to move on and make this a better place to live in. It was through the pain of her wounds she found her calling to be a peacemaker between Vietnam and USA. Forgiveness is a really powerful gift especially when it is given to those who have been haunted by their deeds done at a time when they were inclined to do them. The soldiers found forgiveness and peace after they got to meet Kim and receive this free gift of grace. Kim Phuc was able to stand before the UN in 1996 and say it was God who saved her and gave her the faith and hope during her physical and emotional pain and suffering.
