Micah 7:18

For Nelson Mandela born 07/18/1918

.

Nelson, what a remarkable testimony your life has been, and how it is a reflection of God's love and mercy. You were wrongfully imprisoned for decades, yet you did not stay angry, you showed mercy and helped abolish the injustices that had worked against you. I pray that a generation of Africans will look to your example and seek justice and peace rather than war and riches. I pray that the Lord will return to you all that was taken from you and that you will have long life and prosperity.
