How Do You Forgive A Murderer ?

I sat back for years crying my heart out not knowing the way to freedom is forgiveness. I never hated the person who murdered my son, It was something that was embedded in my heart, that was heavy, heavier than I could bare.
One day I sat in my car, to be specific the day my son was shot, was the day I forgave, the person who murdered my son.
It was one of the hardest things I had to do in my life, other than burying my son, my best friend.
I forgave a murderer.

I had to forgive the women that killed my mother she was taken from me 6 days befor my 2nd birthday. It took me to get save & no God to say I do forgive the women I may never get to see the women that killed her. But in my heart she is forgiven she took my mother at a young age of 17 I always say I was meant to be here & I thank my mom for having me even if she was so young. To forgive you ca move forward with your life. God bless you my sister for your story.

I truly understand, when my brother was killed in 2007, I thought I would sincerely lose my mind! Now I find myself praying for those 5 men who killed my precious brother! To God be the Glory! Sista, I am here.
