Rwanda #2 – Freedom

6 Mar

My mind is racing and my heart is full after two days in Rwanda.  We have not met one person who was not affected by the 1994 Genocide.  Yet the people of this country are exhibiting a supernatural ability to forgive and reconcile for the greater good of the nation.  Imprisoned Hutus are now returning to assimilate amongst the surviving family and friends of their Tutsi victims.  Those who ask for forgiveness receive it.  Not because they deserve it, but because the survivors know that bitterness is a prison.

To forgive is to be free.
