Emily’s Curio

I have a conversation I want to bring up about a previous conversation that happened over another conversation. As I thought about bringing the next conversation up I started to think that it probably wouldn’t do any good. their would be no closure, nothing would be resolved, it would just bring up another conversation. the idea came to mind that I should just forgive and let it go. That was a hard idea in one way. I knew it was right and the only way to end it. A little part of me felt like it wouldn’t really bring happiness and I should keep trying to get my feelings understood. I decided that the latter idea wasn’t one from someone that had my best interest at heart. The former idea or forgiving was from someone who did. I will see if I made the right choice, in time.

This was taken from LDS.org website:

“To forgive is a divine attribute. It is to pardon or excuse someone from blame for an offense or misdeed. The scriptures refer to forgiveness in two ways. The Lord commands us to repent of our sins and seek His forgiveness. He also commands us to forgive those who offend or hurt us.”

“In the everyday circumstances of life, we 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 curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you” (Matthew 5:44). He set the perfect example of forgiveness when He was on the cross. Referring to the Roman soldiers who had crucified Him, He prayed, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34; see footnote c ).

We should pray for strength to forgive those who have wronged us, and we should abandon feelings of anger, bitterness, or revenge. We should also look for the good in others rather than focusing on their faults and magnifying their weaknesses. God will be the judge of others’ harmful actions.”
