'Forgiveness'

Human nature is not complicated. We are all born with the same basic instincts, and it’s easy for us to understand when people act in ways that align with this shared nature. But when someone behaves in a way that diverges from it, we often find it confusing—even foolish. For example, the moment when Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erika, spoke at his memorial and said she forgave the man who murdered her husband. Many people admitted they could never do what she had done. Even President Trump, speaking after her, implied he could not imagine offering such mercy. Why is her act of forgiveness so difficult for most people to comprehend? Because it is supernatural, and it transcends every natural instinct we possess. What is the source of that supernatural strength, and how can you have it too?
