Poet Emily Dickinson once stated, “Words have power.”
The words of forgiveness spoken Sunday by Erika Kirk were so powerful, they led actor Tim Allen to forgive the drunk driver who took his father’s life more than sixty years ago, per Mediaite.
Kirk, widow of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, spoke about forgiveness at a memorial service for her husband in Arizona. Charlie Kirk was assassinated Sept. 10 in Utah.
“That young man, that young man…” Erika Kirk said before quoting from the Bible. “On the cross, our savior said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they not know what they do.’”
“That man, that young man, I forgive him,” she said.
Allen took those words to heart by forgiving the drunk driver who killed his father when Allen was 11 years old.
