What a powerful testimony!
This young man (Brandt Jean), yes, young man, not teenager but man, shared the gospel in minutes, Go to God with your guilt and He will forgive you (Amber Guyger). Give your life to Jesus Christ. Then the life of Christ in him shined a light for her. “I forgive you. I love you like any other person.” This touched everyone who was there and is still touching everyone who watches him. Don’t you know the ruler and powers of this world were shrieking and seething with hate toward such a display of mercy and forgiveness.
Only God can invade the human heart with the ability to forgive the greatest of loss, a loved one. Believers grieve for their loss but they know one day, hopefully soon, they will spend eternity with their Jesus and their family in heaven. Satan loves to divide so he can conquer but that day in that courtroom, Satan had to endure one person (Brandt Jean) offering unity to someone (Amanda Guyger) who doesn’t deserve it.
Psalm 103:8 KJV The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. 9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. 10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
I pray this young man’s (Brandt Jean) out pouring of God’s great mercy will impact the heart of many.

This was awesome! Pray for her. What really happened I wonder. She is utterly distraught. Lord I pray for both families.
