Giving Away All My Sins, Pt. 2 (Alma 22:18)

March 16, 2006

“And I will give away all my sins to know thee.” (Alma 22:18)

Here’s a big one—Do I want to know God more than I want to be right about how others have hurt me?

Take X. X hurt me.

If I want to know God, if I want to live with Him, be like Him, that means I have to give up on X being wrong, on X being mean.

I have to give up wanting X to be punished. I have to give up wanting others to know X was bad and mean, and did this to me, and therefore everyone should like me and not like X.

Sounds kind of silly when I write it out.
