Have you ever felt like forgiveness is a much easier gift to give than to receive? It can be really hard to accept that we are forgiven and move on past our mistakes. But the Lord promises in the Doctrine and Covenants that he will remember our sins no more when we sincerely ask for forgiveness. So why is it so hard?

 

"The Lord can take anything that feels broken beyond repair and make it whole."

 

If you feel like you’re alone in this feeling, just know that most of us feel the same way. In today's episode, Kathryn chats with Corrine Stokoe, creator of Mint Arrow, as she shares her vulnerable and personal story about forgiveness and the path that she has taken with her family to get to a place of peace.

 

Top takeaways from this episode:

• When we stop letting Satan control us and make us feel like we are our mistakes, we can feel whole again.
• Forgiving others isn't about having a loser and a winner, it means that you acknowledge that you want to do better and that you care about the other person.
• Heavenly Father doesn't want us to feel bad or remind us how we are falling short. He will be there to validate us always.
• Repentance is remembering who we are.

 

Small and simple challenge: Read the talk, "Beware of Pride" by President Benson. Think of someone you might be at odds with in your life, and ask Heavenly Father to help you be humble and change your attitude with this person.
