Summary

SummaryI’m James Fraser, a husband, father, and son who once wrestled with rage so deep I vowed vengeance for my dad’s brutal beating. 😒 Back on November 16, 1995, I rushed home to find my dad, a kind-hearted restaurant owner in Houston, Texas, beaten nearly to death by three youths. I’ll never forget seeing him so swollen and brokenβ€”his jaw shattered, his spirit fading. That night, I whispered through tears, β€œDad, I love youβ€”stay with us.” But God had other plans.

In those days, anger consumed me. I circulated petitions, working with victim services and fighting for justice while my heart grew heavy with hatred. For years, I could barely breathe without envisioning revenge. Then a friend, Father Andy Moore, urged me to attend an AXE retreatβ€”a four-day spiritual getaway. I resisted at first, but the Holy Spirit nudged me, and I went. As I sat under pine trees, I heard my dad’s final plea: β€œBe loving, be caring.” With that echo, I named my father’s attackers aloud and released my anger. My shoulders felt lighter than ever! πŸ•ŠοΈ

I kept praying for those who harmed my dad. Over a year later, on February 12, 2021, I walked into a cold prison meeting with his lead offender. I felt no hatredβ€”only compassion. I asked him his last memories of my father, who simply would have given him money if he’d asked. In that moment, I saw Christ’s mercy in action. Forgiving the man who took my dad’s life was the best thing I could’ve doneβ€”true peace flooded me, and my life took on new purpose: helping others find reconciliation, sharing my story in prisons, and living out 70Γ—7 forgiveness every day. πŸ™β€οΈ
