1-25-22: The power of forgiveness

SAX IN THE MORNING

On today’s short I wanted to talk about a principle which I believe is vital for all of us to live a life free from resentment and anger. That principle is forgiveness.

I found this amazing story about a man named Rais Bhuiyan who was shot in the face and left for dead in a hate crime 10 days after 9/11. The man who shot Rais killed two other people that week as revenge for 9/11 and he was caught, convicted and sentenced to death.

Bhuiyan’s life was forever changed and for a time he was ruined, but during a trip to Mecca while deep in prayer he had a revelation about the shooter and forgave him right then and there. Bhuiyan went on to fight for the shooter not to be executed and his act of forgiveness had a massive impact on the shooter and the two even became friendly.

Listen to today’s short to hear how powerful forgiveness can be for both parties involved, and get inspired to move past your own resentments and to forgive the people in your life.
