In my youthful ignorance I used to wonder why it was so important to forgive, why the Lord would say in D&C 64 that of us "it is required to forgive all men" and that failure to do so is such a great sin. Having lived through some experiences of needing it from my fellow men, I know how devastating it is not to receive it, although I know the Lord has forgiven me. I have forgiven others of some pretty heavy things, too.<br /><br />With the Atonement and forgiveness, the Lord can spiritually superglue us back together again (we can't do it ourselves). I think that through forgiving others, we can be a part of the Atonement in another sense. Forgiveness is the ultimate love, or charity, which I think why he who is the definition of love, the Savior, so freely extends it, if we repent.Jennifernoreply@blogger.com
