God is God and I am not

  More than 50 years ago, American missionaries were murdered by the Auca Indians.Their murders shocked the country, back when we were shocked by murders.
  What is most inspiring about this story is that the very individuals--the murderers--eventually came to Christ through the experience.
  Steve Saint is the son of one of the missionaries (Nate Saint); he returned to the place where his father was murdered to become friends with Mincaye, one of his father's murderers.
  What follows is a truly remarkable story of hope and change: hope that God is in control and that He can change the hearts of those who are evil or influenced by evil.
  In this video, singer Steven Curtis Chapman puts the story into song, not questioning God's purposes or timing but accepting that we are merely human, unable to see the future.

  Note this comment posted on the YouTube page of Chapman's music video:
I like watch viedeo many time because this history of my tribe and been happen a ong time ago but God is same and only one who have give forgiveness to my tribe about 5 misssionary and today many of young people they are in things of this darkness world but I apreciate to Steve and his family for that video is !AWESOME! GOD bless you BROTHER
   In this video, "Grandfather" Mincaye is interviewed by his "grandson" Steven Saint about his life and conversion. Chapman closes the video with a song. 
  
  As Chapman says, "God is God and I am not."
  There is comfort when we are assaulted on all sides.
  Anything can happen.
