    The power of forgiveness is the greatest gift you can give yourself. For 42 years I hated the man who murdered my grandmother. I was talking to my pastor one Sunday after mass. He had given a wonderful sermon about forgiveness. I asked him "how can I forgive the man who had done that", and he answered "you must, because God already has". The next Sunday, as always, he invited anyone to come up to the alter to pray. I went up there and cried so hard. I forgave that man that day, and 2 weeks later I was baptized. That was over 3 years ago and my heart remains light...I hope he has done something good with his life since his release.
    Forgiveness is an amazing gift.....🙏💜 ✝

    I’ve listened to A LOT of these testimonies. I really believe him when he says, “I am second.”
    He’s has endured so much.
    Better not bitter, wow.
    All I can say is, “Hallelujah, the last shall be first in the kingdom of heaven! You are before me, Darren! Your reward will be great!”

    "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” (Rev 21:4 ESV)

    I too was born with a cleft lip & cleft palate. Though plastic surgery went fairly well, my palate was never fully corrected so I live with a speech impediment that continues to affect my self confidence, even at 58 yrs old. Thank you for sharing your story. Faith sees me through the dark days & for that I am grateful.

      Mrs. P keep up your spirit! Surround yourself with those of like mind and heart. I pray you always have those angels around you to keep you going when the world is cruel. May you also find joy, and focus on what truly makes you beautiful. Hugs for you too. Your journey is one I cannot imagine - hopefully you know how much you matter despite the cruel ness of our world. You probably have no idea the hope you’ve given others, others you may not even know well. Continued blessings you!

    #Beautiful. I will never understand the hateful part of the human kind. Bitterness. We aren’t promised a great time on earth, but we can make a difference in others lives. For good or evil. Good makes the heart sing. Evil becomes all the horrible parts that dwell in us humans. We have to dig deep to find gratefulness even in bad times, frightening times, the times it seems unfair, the times others are ugly hearted. It’s our journey to hopefully spend eternity in Gods Heaven. Forgiving however, is the hardest thing we humans juggle with for whatever infractions we feel we have endured. I am humbled by you #DarrinRay. You are a beautiful man. You are an inspiration. May your life continue to be Blessed, even in difficult challenges ahead. But moreover, I hope challenges become less for you. You have much to share with those who have lost all hope. I so wish my grown children could fully understand why we are here on earth. And find hope in humanity. In Heaven. In life despite it not going their way. God Bless you some more my friend!

    I am truly sorry for what those people did to you. It is a testimony of the poor social structure and evils in this world. I try to hold onto the power of forgiveness but that doesn't mean one is allowed back in my life. It just really depends on what was done. But I pray more get to watch your testimony. And for you to only know peace and joy for the rest of your days..

    Not sure if this is the place or not, but I think a good couple you should bring in would be Granger Smith and his wife Amber Smith. He is a country music singer look there story up and read about them, check there RUclips series the Smith's out. Awesome God loving couple that lost a 3 year old son to drowning last year and they speak out of there faith, I think it do them good and help to do the white chair experience.
