"Don’t treasure up past wrongs, reprocessing them again and again. In a marriage relationship, festering is destructive; forgiving is divine (see D&C 64:9–10). Plead for the guidance of the Spirit of the Lord to forgive wrongs …, to overcome faults, and to strengthen relationships" -Dallin H. Oaks
It is not repentance per se that saves man. It is the blood of Jesus Christ that saves us. It is not by our sincere and honest change of behavior alone that we are saved, but "grace that we are saved, after all we can do" (2 Nephi 25:23). True repentance, however, is the condition required so that God’s forgiveness can come into our lives. True repentance makes "a brilliant day [out] of the darkest night." -Spencer W. Kimball
When I imagine a brilliant day, I imagine this.
“Yea, I say unto you, … there can be nothing so exquisite and sweet as was my joy” (Alma 36:21)
