Hey, my name is Brandt and today you may or may not know is International Polar Bear Day.

They want to use these days to force you to do stuff.

It doesn't work with me. Well, no one is trying to force you to do anything. Yes, they are. They want you to be aware of polar bears today. I say don't. I say, don't even think about them. This is crazy. Set them aside. Don't even let them cross your mind. Don't even think about a polar bear. No, don't even say it anymore. The point is they can't bully us and doing this Almanac stuff. With the people who do this, the UN or whatever. Don't do it. If somebody cuts you some slack, you don't forget it usually. It's like such a big deal. Somebody lets you off the hook. You do something. You know it was wrong. They forgive you anyway. Such an amazing thing. So we've been actually asking you,

if you have a story like that, when somebody has shown you grace in a way that you'll never

forget the rest of your life. I'm Beto from Clarkville, Tennessee. Many years ago, I was addicted

to Crystal Meth, and I sold thousands of dollars from

my brother to pour my addiction and he was able to forgive me. And now our relationship is better

than ever before. And I owe it all to God. Hi, my name is Cindy and I'm from Sturley, Illinois.

And you were just asking about what you've been so great.

But just yesterday, I was driving and not paying close enough attention and a stop sign came up in front of me.

And I ran into the back of a gentleman who was so kind and so gracious and he forgave me right away.

I was in the wrong for not paying attention but nothing else, but I just was so, so blessed by that.

My name is Pam and I am calling from area in Mississippi.

Last year I had a little bit of a mental breakdown and put my job via email.

My employer was so grateful they knew something was wrong and pursued to find me and forgave me, of course, and I still have my job,

and thank God I am a lot better today. A couple years ago I was involved with an inappropriate

relationship that cost me everything, and credibility job, everything. It happened a little bit

before my birthday.

Before my birthday that year, my wife didn't give me anything except for herself because you can have me.

I love you, unconditionally, not for what you did, but for who you are.

And that's what God's love is, and she showed me that.
