Forgiveness is the means by which to recognize, I am free.
If we open up our eyes and look around, we will find examples of forgiveness everywhere.... we just have to be willing to look. If we are unable to find them, perhaps there is an oppportunity, person or experience with which you can forgive, and thus send the ripple effect of forgiveness in your own life to be a demonstration for so many others.
This woman/mother is the perfect demonstration of asking for, receiving and giving forgiveness.
Her daughter at 22 years old was killed by a drunk driver. This man was 24 years old, and sentenced to 22 years in prison for her death. The mother felt the calling to spread the word of drunk driving to schools around the world. After a few years of doing so, something was missing. God then has put the message on her heart that she had not yet forgiven this man for killing her daughter. When she finally asks for and welcomes forgiveness, the ripple effect from it is truly... miraculous.
This is the perfect demonstration of how forgiveness can heal the hearts of many, not just one.
May we all follow in this woman's footsteps and forgive today. Bless us all.
