Just recently, when Erica Kirk stood up at her husband Charlie's memorial and forgave the man,

accused of murdering him, many across the world gasped and shook their head.

That man, that young man, I forgive him.

Because let's be honest, we all ask ourselves if we would have had the strength, if we would have had the courage, if we

would have had the grace to do what she did on that day? Would we have had the strength to forgive

someone that took our partner the love of our life

away from us so violently?

When someone takes your husband, your partner, the father of your children, every fiber of you

might scream for vengeance and grace might be awfully hard to find.

Forgiveness might seem wasted on that individual.

But Erica looked out at the crowd with the weight of her grief still raw and said, quote,

I forgive him. I forgive him because it was what Christ did and it is what Charlie would do.

Like I said, that shocked a lot of people. It inspired a lot of people.

It even angered some people. And it made headlines, and it should, because here's the real story.

Forgiveness is not weakness. It's rebellion against hate.

It's choosing freedom when everything in you wants revenge.

Look at these headlines.
