True to the Faith Forgiveness: forgiving others: The Lord said: "Ye ought to forgive one another; for he that forgiveth not his brother his tresspasses standeth condemned before the Lord; for there remaineth in him the greater sin. I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men" (D&C 64:9-10)
In the everyday circumstances of life, you will surely be wronged by other people - sometimes innocently and sometimes intentionally. it is easy to become bitter or angry or vengeful in such situations, but this is not the Lord's way. The Savior counseled, "Love your enemies, bless them that cures you, do good to them that hate you, and preay for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you" (Matthew 5:44). ...
pray for strength to forgive those who have wronged you. abandon feelings of anger, bitterness, or revenge. Look for the good in others rather than focusing on their faults and magnifying their weaknesses. allow God to be the judge of others' harmful actions. it may be difficult to let go of hurt feelings, but you can do it with the Lord's help. You will find that forgiveness can heal terrible wounds, replacing the poison of contention and hatred with the peace and love that only God can give. [end quoting]. I found that when flipping thru tttf today. its why i was crying most of church today. its why i couldnt look at you. its why i had to leave sunday school. i'm guilty of that. and i'm praying for help from the only person who will be able to help me. nothing here can help me, they don't understand. Bishop told me today that i will always have a best friend who knows exactly how i am feeling, because he felt it too, and i must pray to Him.
