Forgiveness

Today I am thankful for the power of forgiveness. The fact that we are able to be completely forgiven for all of our sins is an amazing thing, but more amazing is the power we have to forgive others.

I was sitting in the temple yesterday and I realized that I have forgiven a certain individual for everything he put me through. It does not mean that I have forgotten everything, I don't think I should. I need to remember a lot of the things that happened, so I can never make those mistakes again, so I can never put myself in that particular situation again. I just feel that I was given an amazing gift, and once I realized I had been able to forgive him, a huge weight was taken off my shoulders.

I am so grateful.

If you would have told me two months ago I would realize all these things, I probably wouldn't have believed you. But I am glad to be here now, in this place.

  1. Forgiveness is something I need to work on, like, really bad. Both forgiving myself and others. Especially my other (better?) half. One of the many things I pray for.. I'm so glad you've been able to get that weight off your shoulders, Binny :)
