One woman’s powerful act of forgiveness will leave you amazed and in tears. She did what many people, if in her position, could not do, and it was so powerful and moving. Watch the short but tear-jerking video to see and hear about this woman’s act of forgiveness.

Life is not always a fair or even, very often, an easy experience. What other people do can significantly impact our lives. Sadly, when they make wrong decisions and choices, it’s usually not only them who feel those negative repercussions, but us as well. The results of those choices can be devastating and life-altering.

When someone has had too much to drink, but foolishly still decides to get behind the wheel, they are not only putting their life in danger but also everyone else they might encounter during their drunken escapade. This scenario is all too real for far too many people, and one that, for whatever reason, continues to happen. A clip posted on YouTube tells the story of one woman whose life was dramatically impacted by someone who decided to get behind the wheel when they were intoxicated. But what the woman did and the love she exhibited will absolutely amaze you.

Joseph Tillman, while under the influence of nitrous oxide, hit and killed Chuck Johnson, who was on an electric bike at the time of the deadly collision. Joseph would go on to plead guilty to all of the charges against him, but while being sentenced for the fatal crash, something amazing happened.

Regina Johnson hugged and forgave the young man responsible for her husband’s death. The clip states that Regina embraced him because the Lord told her “he needed a mom hug.”

It was during their embrace that Regina told the young man she forgave him for the crash that claimed her husband’s life and added that the Lord “loves him more than he knows.”  

Wow! What a powerful and moving demonstration of God’s love, mercy and grace to be able to hug and forgive someone whose actions ended her spouse’s life, forever changing hers.

Matthew 18:21-22 “Then Peter came and said to him, ‘Lord, what number of times may my brother do wrong against me, and I give him forgiveness? Till seven times?’ Jesus says to him, ‘I say not you, till seven times; but, till seventy-seven times.’”
