"We are not always rewarded for our forgiveness the way David was. And we should not expect it. Nor should we expect the offending person to repent first. President Spencer W. Kimball (1895-1985) explained, "To be in the right we must forgive, and we must do so without regard to whether or not our antagonist repents, or how sincere is his transformation, or whether or not he asks our forgiveness."3 Even for repeat offenses, we are commanded to forgive "until seventy times seven" (Matthew 18:22). [Spencer W. Kimball, The Miracle of Forgiveness (1969), 283.] "
