Still_Small_Voice Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Hello there. I am sorry. I am having difficulty understanding your original post. If you could please go through and edit your original post to make it more readable. Use periods if you can and rephrase your words. If you want to know how I can move on from your past sins here is some information for you. These are quotes from the Prophet Spencer w. Kimball: "Likewise, repentance must be consistent and continuous. To repent of a sin and then to tamper with it again or permit it to invade, even slightly, is to lose the repentance and its beneficent effects, and the former sins return, saith the Lord God." (See Doc. & Cov. 82:7) "Very frequently people think they have repented and are worthy of forgiveness when all they have done is to express sorrow or regret at the unfortunate happening, but their repentance is barely started. Until they have begun to make changes in their lives, transformation in their habits, and to add new thoughts to their minds, to be sorry is only a bare beginning." "True repentance incorporates within it a washing, a purging, a changing of attitudes, a reappraising, a strengthening toward self-mastery. It is not a simple matter for one to transform his life overnight, nor to change attitudes in a moment, nor to rid himself in a hurry of unworthy companions." "True repentance must include restitution. There are sins for which restitution can be made . . . but then there are other sins that cannot yield to restitution. . . One of the requisites for repentance is the living of the commandments of the Lord. Perhaps few people realize that as an important element; though one may have abandoned a particular sin and even confessed it to his bishop, yet he is not repentant if he has not developed a life of action and service and righteousness, which the Lord has indicated to be very necessary: He that repents and does the commandments of the Lord shall be forgiven."
