Ronald Reagan Forgave
Contributed by Dr. Larry Petton on Jan 27, 2014 (message contributor)
RONALD REAGAN FORGAVE
President Ronald Reagan has always been one of my heroes in life. His forgiveness of his enemies was one of the many things that made him great.
Ronald Reagan's attitude after the 1982 assassination attempt on his life made an impression on his daughter, Patti Davis. As she watched the faithful example of President Reagan, she later declared:
"The following day after the assassination attempt, my father said he knew his physical healing was directly dependent on his ability to forgive his attacker, John Hinckley. By showing me that forgiveness is the key to everything, including physical health and healing, he gave me an example of Christ-like thinking."
