President Kimball
Forgiveness means forgetfulness. One woman had “gone through” a reconciliation in a branch and had made the physical motions and verbal statements indicating it, and expressed the mouthy words forgiving.
Then with flashing eyes, she remarked, “I will forgive her, but I have a memory like an elephant. I'll never forget.” Her pretended adjustment was valueless and void. She still harbored the bitterness. Her words of friendship were like a spider's web, her rebuilt fences were as straw, and she herself continued to suffer without peace of mind.
Worse still, she stood “condemned before the Lord,” and there remained in her an even greater sin than in the one who, she claimed, had injured her.
Little did this antagonistic woman realize that she had not forgiven at all. She had only made motions. She was spinning her wheels and getting nowhere.
In the scripture quoted above, the phrase in their hearts has deep meaning. It must be a purging of feelings and thoughts and
bitternesses
. Mere words avail nothing.

Neal A. Maxwell
The
customized challenges are often the toughest and the most ironical. For instance, King
Mosiah
was venerated of his people, yet, ironically, his sons became damaging enemies of the Church for a season.
Nevertheless
, his discerning people still esteemed
Mosiah
.
Will we have that same perceptive tolerance for those being wrenched by a cruel irony?
When
, for the moment, we ourselves are not being stretched on a particular cross, we ought to be at the foot of someone
else’s…Slide7

Neal A. Maxwell
Patient endurance is to be distinguished from merely being “acted upon.”
Endurance
is more than pacing up and down within the cell of our circumstance;
it is not only
acceptance… [but]
by magnifying what is allotted to us
.
…If
we are constantly comparing to see if things are fair, we are not only being unrealistic, we are being unfair to ourselves.
Therefore, true enduring represents not merely the passage of time, but the passage of the soulSlide9
