Only forgiveness heals

Peace is not the absence of trouble but the presence of Christ.

“Our eternal happiness will be in proportion to the way that we devote ourselves to helping others.”

George Albert Smith

The Pain you feel today will be the strength you feel tomorrow.

Blessed are those who see beautiful things

in humble places where others see nothing.

“In a world of some discouragement, sorrow, and overmuch sin, in times when fear and despair seem to prevail, when humanity is feverish with no worldly physicians in sight… ‘Trust Jesus.’  Let him still the tempest and ride upon the storm. Believe that he can lift mankind from its bed of affliction, in time and in eternity.”

Jeffrey R Holland

“Somehow forgiveness, with love and tolerance, accomplishes miracles that can happen in no other way.”

Gordon B. Hinckley

“When the Lord requires that we forgive all men, that includes forgiving ourselves.”

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

“Forgiveness plants and nourishes the seeds of Christlike love in both the giver and the receiver. Indeed, forgiveness, in its fullest expression, is synonymous with charity, the pure love of Christ.”

Roderick J. Linton

“Forgiveness is a personal attribute, not just a decision we make from time to time when we feel we should.  To have a forgiving heart is to see the world in a different light. It is to forsake the tendency to judge, condemn, exclude, or hate any human soul.  A forgiving heart seeks to love and to be patient with imperfection. The forgiving heart understands that we are all in need of the atonement of Jesus Christ.”

Roderick J. Linton

“There is nothing that will bring us more of the Spirit of God than to … be kind, considerate, charitable, long-suffering and forgiving. There is nothing that will bring more joy to us than to be ready and willing to forgive the trespasses of our neighbors against us, and there is nothing that will bring more condemnation to us than to harden our hearts and to be bitter and vindictive in our feelings towards those by whom we are surrounded.”

Heber J. Grant

We must let go of our grievances. Part of the purpose of mortality is to learn how to let go of such things.

That is the Lord's way.

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Forgiveness doesn’t excuse their behavior. Forgiveness prevents their behavior from destroying your heart.

We are all in need of Mercy.

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

“Charity is having patience with someone who has let us down. It is resisting the impulse to become offended easily. It is accepting weaknesses and shortcomings. It is accepting people as they truly are. It is looking beyond physical appearances to attributes that will not dim through time. It is resisting the impulse to categorize others.”

Thomas S. Monson

…”During those long, prayerful moments…I tapped into a life-giving source of comfort from my loving Heavenly Father. I sense that he was not standing by glaring at me for not having accomplished forgiveness yet, rather he was sorrowing with me as I wept…. “In the final analysis, what happened in my heart is for me an amazing and miraculous evidence of the Atonement of Christ. I had always viewed the Atonement as a means of making repentance work for the sinner. I had not realized that it also makes it possible for the one sinned against to receive into his or her heart the sweet peace of forgiving.”

Blame keeps wounds open. Only forgiveness heals. ~Thomas S Monson
