When I let something go about 3 years ago, I felt such inner peace. Too bad it was soon replaced with more angst. :(Liz Mayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960276167677132860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476388007317102637.post-64112855167898129112011-07-12T09:39:26.070-07:002011-07-12T09:39:26.070-07:00I've always been surprised by this, too, but i...I've always been surprised by this, too, but it's stated pretty clearly in the scriptures.<br /><br />9 "Wherefore, I say unto you, that ye ought to forgive one another; for he that forgiveth not his brother his trespasses standeth condemned before the Lord; for there remaineth in him the greater sin."<br /><br />10 "I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to bforgive all men." D&C 64:9-10<br /><br />It almost seems as if, in not forgiving, we are being prideful to the extent that we are trying to set ourselves up as false Gods...refusing to humble ourselves, obey the direct commandment to forgive, and let our Father in Heaven be the sole judge and final authority on who will and will not be forgiven. <br /><br />Just a thought?<br /><br />=)Susan Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049586085703324088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476388007317102637.post-1883121469928863682011-07-12T06:52:28.609-07:002011-07-12T06:52:28.609-07:00Hey, how kind of you to pass on my experience/tria...Hey, how kind of you to pass on my experience/trial. I believe that in sharing our journey, it may make the journey of others easier.<br />We are here to learn and grow, we know this. If more people would share what they've learned OPENLY as a matter of fact, we'd all benefit, I do believe.<br />As far as unforgiveness being worse than being offended...I think the underlying idea is that in forgiving someone else, we recognize our own need for mercy.<br />This doesn't mean that we open ourselves for more abuse from the offender, or make excuses for their actions--it just means we leave the offenders judgement up to God, and move forward with our own best intentions. How's that?<br />;-)Momzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01078211684662158122noreply@blogger.com
