“Remember Lot’s Wife” (Gen.19)

There is so much to say about this chapter, but I’ve decided to share a sermon on Lot’s wife that changed my life. In 2009 I was a freshman at Brigham Young University, and I still struggled with things from my past. Namely, people from my past who had hurt me. I went and listened to Elder Holland give this speech on campus, and for maybe the first time, learned how to truly forgive someone.

Here is the full talk in print.

“When something is over and done with, when it has been repented of as fully as it can be repented of, when life has moved on as it should and a lot of other wonderfully good things have happened since then, it is not right to go back and open up some ancient wound that the Son of God Himself died trying to heal.”
