Don't give up on us* - Sarah Mclachlan

HK pop star, Sammi Cheng posted up some selfies - but what made the news and caused controversy was who appeared in the background of her photo. It was her husband. The very man who cheated on her and was discovered to have done so earlier this year. The same man whom she had publicly forgiven.

But the problem is that many of her fans have not forgiven him. So they were not happy to see him in the selfie. But other fans pointed out that at the end of the day, what is important is whether she forgave him, not so much whether her fans do the same. "It doesn't matter if you don't forgive him. His wife's forgiveness is the one that matters to him', they said.

Her response has been remarkable. After suffering such humiliation and such betrayal, she was willing to forgive him. Amazing.

She is known to be a Christian and that is the only explanation I can find to understand how she can forgive. Only those who have been forgiven greatly can forgive in return. She must have experienced God's great forgiveness personally. And because of that, perhaps that's the reason why she was willing to forgive and not give up on her cheating husband.

Here is her public declaration of her forgiveness and she quotes a verse from 1 Corinthians 13:7:-

*This was one of a new song that she released in her 2008 "best of" album - a song regarding her cheating husband.
