Amazing

I don't know about you but I was really amazed at the reaction of some of the relatives of the victims of the Charleston shootings.   When they "confronted" the shooter at the court hearing several of them said that they forgave the killer.   What a testimony to their commitment to the Gospel message.   As a pastor,  I was wondering if members of my parish would have done as well.  What happened in Charleston is a testimony to the preaching and teaching of the pastor and other leaders of the Church but more so to the faith of the people of Charleston.

Maybe you and I can look at "hurts" inflicted on us by others and try to emulate the folks of Charleston and say "I forgive you".
