“He
did deliver me from bondage” p. 105, Day 2
(Alma 26)
Just after I did the
“Inventory” as I mentioned before, I got up unplanned and asked forgiveness
from the ward. My motivation was with
one person in particular whom I had tried to apologize to directly but they
walked away. To demonstrate my sincerity,
I humiliated (humbled) myself in front of the whole congregation, which
probably needed to happen anyway as it was directed from the Spirit. I do
believe this person has forgiven me. I
have a different feeling now when I see them than I used to. If not, at least I know I have done all I can
do and it is no longer in my hands. I
think my willingness to humiliate myself shows the price I am willing to pay
because of my sincerity. If I am willing
to forsake the world, or the approval of the world, for the forgiveness of one
person then I have gained at least the approval of the Savoir, even if the
person chooses not to forgive for the time being.
