Forgiveness is possible even when there is no restitution, no remorse on the part of the perpetrator.
Virginia H. PearceWhy is fear part of earth life? Perhaps our Heavenly Fatherโs greatest hope is that through our fears we may choose to turn to Him. The uncertainties of earth life can help to remind each of us that we are dependent on Him. But that reminder is not automatic. It involves our agency. We must choose to take our fears to Him, choose to trust Him, and choose to allow Him to direct us. We must make these choices when what we feel most inclined to do is to rely more and more on our own frantic and often distorted thinking.
Virginia H. PearceForgiveness is not between me and the one who has hurt me; it is between me and the Lord.
Virginia H. PearceWhen we have been hurt, slighted, or wounded unfairly, we are not left alone to bear it. We can get on our knees and ask for the Lord's help to forgive.
