Glimpses of Heart Change

Remember Camron from an earlier post and how he struggled with the realities of Proverbs 13:20? He faces daily battles of walking with the wise and avoiding foolish people. The other day, he made the choice to walk with foolish people, and as a result, made a wrong choice that had unpleasant consequences. While I was in a discussion with Camron about the wrong choice he had made, he looked at me clearly with remorse on his face and quietly said, "I need to pray." The next moment, he was on his knees and in his 5th grade way, prayed out loud telling his King that he was truly sorry and asking the King for help in walking with wise people. When he was done with his prayer, Camron looked at me and smiled - "now I have to go and apologize and make it right." I was so proud of him! He took the initiative on his own to make things right with the King and others. Tears came to my eyes as the powerful message of the King's true forgiveness and grace unfolded before my eyes in the life of a 5th grade boy.
