It's Monday again...fancy that. I have to admit I forgot that it was
this day until I was looking over my own blog. Oops!
Anyways...the thought for today is on:
forgiveness.
This is something that I wouldn't say I struggle with all the time, but it is definitely
one thing that can be very hard to do when things are rough.
Forgiveness to me is something that another wants to give to others or
even themselves when sometimes it doesn't seem required.
I love the ability to forgive and to be forgiven for whatever the reason or cause
may be. It's a wonderful gift that we have been given.
I found this touching quote by Lance B. Wickman on forgiveness,
"It remains only for you and me to both seek and tender that forgiveness—to both repent and to extend charity to others—which enables us to pass through the door the Savior holds open, thus to cross the threshold from this life into exaltation. Today is the day to forgive others their trespasses, secure in the knowledge that the Lord will thus forgive ours. As Luke significantly recorded, “Be ye therefore merciful” (Luke 6:36; emphasis added). Perfection may elude us here, but we can be merciful. And in the end, repenting and forgiving are among God’s chief requirements of us."
