Forgiveness

This is so amazing!! Please pause my music on the right.
I have a person in my life who has greatly offended me by falsely accusing me of things, misunderstanding over and over again and then gossiping about it to others, blaming it on others when confronted about it, and it has gone on for a period of 7 years now. I have had such a hard time with this. The Lord has taught me so much as I have forgiven over and over again and have turned to Him to know what to do. Recently yet another "episode" happened and I decided in my heart and mind that I was not going to forgive this time and that it wasn't my job to keep doing so and that it was just too hard. I decided I was just allowing this person to continue to hurt me because I kept forgiving. This video reminded me that it is my job to forgive as many times as it takes no matter how hard it is. Brad and I had to tell this person that we would not be able to have any contact with them anymore. We felt it was necessary and it is at this point, but I am so thankful for my Savior who suffered and died for me so that all I have to do is place burdens like this at His feet and He will take them away from ME! The atonement is all encompassing and I am so grateful for this knowledge. It soothes my soul and lightens my heart!
