This past weekend Sandra & I again watched the movie, Amazing Grace.
I don’t exactly know how many times we have viewed the film, (but it is more than 4 times).
I realized this weekend, that each time I view the film, I learn and glean more.
William Wilberforce faced many, many obstacles in his quest to change the policies of his government. But what really struck me this past weekend was that he, though down-cast in his endeavor, was encouraged by others to perceiver in the face of adversity.
I was reminded of our Lord’s admonition, “Be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world!”

P.S. Perhaps the most gripping was when Wilberforce's mentor (John Newton) said...
"I have realized that I am a great sinner, and that Christ, is a great Savior!
So don’t loose heart, and don’t… give up the fight!
