Finding Hope Through Forgiveness
January 19, 2024
I heard about a man who had been inside prison for 30 years—and he was only 47 years old. Each time he’d been up for parole one of his victim’s family members was there to speak against his release. Until this time.
The victim’s sister was still there. But something changed inside of her. She said she believed it was time for him to be released. That it was time for her to forgive and to move on.
As a result… 30 years later… this man is being recommended to be released from prison on parole.
The sister had one condition: that he check in with her once a month and let her know how he’s doing.
Wow! This story of forgiveness and redemption cuts straight to the heart of the gospel. I pray that you will, in honor of Jeff, take a moment and offer forgiveness to someone in your life… someone who probably doesn’t appear to deserve it, but who desperately needs it.
Remember, choose hope today.
