Comments on: We Believe: Forgiveness http://mormonwoman.org/2009/06/28/we-believe-forgiveness/ A website for and about Mormon women, and about Mormonism in general Thu, 11 Mar 2010 23:19:21 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Linda http://mormonwoman.org/2009/06/28/we-believe-forgiveness/comment-page-1/#comment-8031 Linda Wed, 29 Jul 2009 16:24:54 +0000 http://mormonwoman.org/?p=1877#comment-8031 When you hold on to anger and grudges, you are harming yourself more than the other person. We can not control how another person may act, however we can control our response. When we let go of negative emotions we are then able to have to Holy Ghost with us. I have found that with all the responsibilities that we have here on earth, it is such a blessing to let go, forgive and move forward. I personally do not want the responsibility of who to forgive or not. That is for the Lord. When you hold on to anger and grudges, you are harming yourself more than the other person.

Someone did something to a family member that changed our lives. I realized that true forgiveness is very difficult! It may take years to completely forgive this person, but the Lord doesn't expect us to be perfect, he expects us to be progressing. True forgiveness requires pure charity and I'm not there yet....I'm relying on the Atonement to make up for what I can't do yet. so i’ve never really had an issue with forgiveness except for the little differences/arguments that happen in families etc. I hadn’t ever really been hurt in a big way until recently.

We spoke to the children about forgiveness in Primary this week. Specifically how it makes our families stronger. We're all in process. Pat yourself on the back for just desiring to forgive.
