CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
In 1989 I quit buying Exxon gasoline and motor oil although it was my product of choice before then. I didn’t like the way Exxon handled the aftermath of the Exxon Valdez tanker spill along the Alaskan coast. 11 million gallons of crude oil along 1300 miles of pristine coastline with untold numbers of fowl and animals affected. I didn’t think Exxon owned the problem. Fast forward to 2010 and the BP Deepwater Horizon spill. 20 times the oil spill of the Exxon Valdez. Although, not as readily available in this are, I continued to buy BP gasoline. I liked the response I saw and I believed they were truly sorry for the accident. You see, we all make mistakes and, since companies are made up of people like us, companies make mistakes too.
Owning up to them and trying to mitigate the consequences is important to me. I make purchasing decisions based on a lot of factors. Most of them are private decisions and I don’t go public with them. My boycott decisions can be long term, short term, forever, or a few days. All can be reversed because I only have to convince myself and since most are private or limited broadcast, I don’t have to justify my change of heart.
Forgiveness is the key and I see far too little of that in our country and our world. Sure, the offender needs to own up to the transgression and there needs to be remorse but the one offended needs to take the next step.
I’m certainly thankful that God shows us the way in these matters. While we were hopelessly lost in our sin and transgression, He reached out to us by sending Jesus to suffer the consequences of our worldly actions. He took the first step and made the next one, our step, so much easier and so much more healing in our relationship with Him. For God so loved the world, and me, and you, that He took the first step toward forgiveness and everlasting joy for us.
