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.....🙏💜 ✝

"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)

Unbelievable testimony. The power of God’s grace is evident in Darrin’s life. What a powerful witness!

I’m broken too but the Lord has gotten me through everyday. What a powerful Testimony especially to the broken! I wish I could give you a big hug! You are an amazing man who Loves God! Bless you!

God Bless you Darrin - it's amazing to see how God is using you for His rescue mission! I miss you, Brother!

Darren is my cousin. He certainly has overcome a lot of trials. I'm very proud of him and the witness he has become.

HOLY MACKEREL Darrin .... well let’s just say the Lord put those broken pieces back just perfectly.... thank you so much for sharing Darrin.... my wife and I looked at each other at the end and said ‘THAT WAS AWESOME ‘... LOVED WHAT YOU SAID AT THE COURT ROOM ... you are soooooo right !!! Thank you Jesus !!!!

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!”

Darrin your story is so powerful. I am so thankful God saved your life, bless you for letting Him use you in a mighty way!

What an incredible story of humility and trust in God.

Thanks so much Darrin I really needed to hear that, I’m a (medically discharged firefighter here in Atlanta Ga, I lost my career, daddy, brother , gym & 5 spine surgeries. Chronic pain has ruin my life, please pray for me, I’m like where are you God, I had such huge plans, those plans have went down the drain.

Thank you Darrin. I am humbled before Almighty God because of your testimony. May God bless you and keep you all the days of your life and may his light continue to shine through you. Thank you.

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.

Darren! Please write a book or put out social media. Your story is SO powerful for God's glory!

What a beautiful Mother ! God bless her,,,

If you are Second, I'mlike 10th !! GOD Bless Darrin and Carrie !! Miss you guys !!

#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!

Blessings to you sweetheart and to your Blessed family ✝️🌹❤️✝️

I'm literally SPEECHLESS!!! THANK YOU, JESUS FOR YOUR AMAZING, AMAZING GRACE!!!!

I am so sorry for the things that happened to you... I really love what your mam has said 😍 it’s beautiful. Bless you Darrin, God loves you very much ❤️🙏🏻

even tho i wasnt ''ugly'' i was very skinny and i can definitely related with hating who I was and just not fully letting God take control of my life cause i felt like i was disgusting. Bless you Darrin

❤❤❤❤ I love this as I was born weighing in at 1lbs 11oz and grew up being a sick child as well as brain damaged and it took years to comprehend why God let me live my life from such a premature birthweight…^______^❤❤❤❤

Amen Brother

Let us rejoice in God's plan of salvation, not attribute everything we experienced on the journey to that plan.

Amen brother ✝️. It's not so bad being a professional patient, you can use this to be the Light to the patient like no one else! Much Blessings to you and your family ✝️🌹❤️✝️

Thank you for sharing your testimony. Your words are very powerful. Again, thank you for sharing.

What an inspiration

Godbless you sir and thank you for your story

Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you!

I was involved in a near Head'on collision in June or 2017 we were blessed to walk away with no injuries On the outside but mentally I was injured it took alot of faith to climb back in to that truck again every time I get in the car and I wonder if I'll make it back home

Pls film Becket Cook's testimony too!! 🌻

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 KZfaq 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.

I am fiercely hetero but I think you're beautiful.
