seriously offended you. Your response to that offense may have distorted
your understanding so that you feel justified in waiting for that individual
to ask forgiveness so that the pain can leave. The Savior dispelled any
such thought when He commanded:
“‘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.
“‘I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required
to forgive all men’ (D&C 64:9–10).
“Don’t carry the burden of offense any longer. Genuinely ask forgiveness
of one that has offended you, even when you consider you have done no wrong.
That effort will assuredly bring you peace and will likely begin the
healing of serious misunderstandings.”
Elder Richard G. Scott of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “To Be Free of
Heavy Burdens,” Liahona and Ensign, Nov. 2002, 88.

发帖数: 9485 | 2 When we forgive someone, we are relieved of a heavy burden. Moreover,
forgiving is a commandment from the Lord. The Savior taught: “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).
In the following examples we see how the blessing of being able to forgive
came to three people—one who forgave a friend who had cheated her, one who
forgave an ex-spouse, and one who forgave a murderer.
