They Shot Her for Refusing to Deny Jesus, But She Says ‘They Stole My Sight, Not My Joy’

Suzanne survived a brutal attack by militants in northern Nigeria. They demanded she renounce her faith in Jesus. When she refused, they shot her in the head. The bullet passed through both eyes, leaving her blind and presumed dead beside her late father. Villagers found her alive while preparing her father’s burial. She lost her sight but not her faith. In a video interview, she said, “They stole my sight, but not my joy.” When asked how she would feel toward the man who shot her, she replied she would hug and pray for him. She has already forgiven him. I am moved by her example. It reminds me that true joy does not depend on anything of this world. Her faith shines even in the darkest moments. May her story inspire us to hold onto hope and forgiveness.
