Repentance and Forgiveness

About a year ago I happened upon this talk on BYU Speeches.  The teachings in this talk are profound and memorable and when I saw it again on the website, I knew I needed to listen to it again.  It is one of the best talks on Repentance and Forgiveness.


Here is one of the great quotes from this talk:
"At this point, let me pause and add a lesson that applies both in your own life and also in the lives of others. There is something in us, at least in too many of us, that particularly fails to forgive and forget earlier mistakes in life—either mistakes we ourselves have made or the mistakes of others. That is not good. It is not Christian. It stands in terrible opposition to the grandeur and majesty of the Atonement of Christ. To be tied to earlier mistakes—our own or other people’s—is the worst kind of wallowing in the past from which we are called to cease and desist."
