Damage
There was a boy who had such a temper. His father went to the boy and said "Everytime you loose your temper I want you to take a nail and hammer it into that fence." The boy agreed to do it and went away. The first day this boy nailed 36 nails, then a little less, and then a little less. Eventually the boy went to his father and said "Daddy! I didn't nail at all today." then father watched and after a few days the boy still hadn't used any nails. His father went to him and told him to remove a nail each day he didn't loose his temper. After all the nails were removed the dad said "Look at the holes in the fence. Everytime you do something wrong and ask for forgiveness the damage is still there."

I don't really get it. So he has scars? or the people hes hurt still have that whole "baggage" thing? Or is it a God thing?
Wow Ben what an awesome message. I hope it makes us all think before we act, remembering the holes in the fence.
Harsh reality. Good thing we have a God who is in the restoration business. Bet He can fill those holes if we ask Him.
