Forgiveness: My Burden Was Made Light
Forgiveness and the power of Jesus Christ enable a man to survive losing his wife and several children in a car accident—and allow the offending driver to begin rebuilding his own life. Read President James E. Faust's talk on forgiveness: http://bit.ly/alS1ui.
It's easy to talk about forgiveness: about wanting to forgive, hoping to forgive, even knowing that someday we will need to forgive. It's much more difficult to choose to forgive. But those who do find that this critical choice marks an important first step on the path to true healing.
Such was the case with Chris Williams, who had every reason not to forgive. A few years ago, a 17-year-old drunk driver hit the car he was driving, killing his expectant wife and two of their four children. Severely injured, Chris lay trapped in the car, feeling the most intense pain he had ever experienced. He later recounted that in the midst of all the chaos, his thoughts went quiet, and he felt peace enough to hear a voice inside his mind—a voice that was "straightforward and filled with power." It simply said, "Let it go!" And so, in that very moment, Chris decided that, no matter what the future held, he would forgive. He would set his feet on the path of forgiveness and, in effect, save his own life.
As the next weeks turned into years, Chris repeatedly acted upon his choice to forgive. In
the hospital emergency room, he asked a friend to pray for the teenage driver. To the press, he issued a statement asking for stories of forgiveness that he could share with his surviving sons. As Chris began to heal, he reached out to the driver. He prayed for the young man; he encouraged him to go forward and make something of his life.
Choosing to forgive did not make everything easy for Chris ever after. He still experienced intense periods of grief and loneliness, heartache and anguish. But he sought heaven's help and strength. He remembered the peace he had felt and the decision he had made. And, without fail, every time he chose to "let it go," his burden was lifted and he took one more step on the path of forgiveness and healing.
Kathy Aiken interviews Chris Williams, Video 2/4. Episode 1.
Glenn Beck spent considerable time with Chris Williams and Cameron White sharing their incredible story of their worlds literally colliding! Amazingly after 17 year old Cameron drove drunk and crashed iinto Chris Williams car killing his pregnant wife and two other children Chris did the unthinkable, he FORGAVE!
When his wife and two children were killed in a drunk-driving accident, Chris Williams made the most important decision of his life. On a cold February night in 2007, a devoted father of four and a seventeen-year-old drunk driver both received life sentences. In one violent, devastating instant, both faced a drastically different and uncertain future. But as Chris Williams sat in his demolished vehicle, staring at the car that had just caused the death of his wife, his unborn baby, his nine-year-old daughter, and his eleven-year-old son, he committed to do something extraordinary: he would forgive. That decision launched Chris on a journey toward healing that affected his family and friends, the young man who caused the accident, and an entire community a community that would face another deadly tragedy just a few days later. Chris s message of forgiveness is an empowering invitation to all who have suffered, however unjustly, to lay down their burdens and let it go.

Your Spiritual Journey: You Know Enough
Our spiritual journey is the process of a lifetime. We do not know everything in the beginning or even along the way. Our conversion comes step-by-step, line upon line. We then remain steady and patient as we progress through mortality. At times, the Lords answer will be, You dont know everything, but you know enough—enough to keep the commandments and to do what is right.
Come What May & Love It
The way we react to adversity can be a major factor in how happy and successful we can be in life.
