Doctrine and Covenants 98:40


"And so on unto the second and third time; and as oft as thine enemy repenteth of the trespass wherewith he has trespassed against thee, thou shalt forgive him, until seventy times seven."
Doctrine and Covenants 98:40


This is definitely difficult, to forgive someone who makes the same mistake over and over and over again, especially when it directly affects or harms us.  However, that is what God asks of us, AND it is what God *does* for us, when we make mistakes over and over and over again, as long as we are truly repentant.  Let's try today to give other people the same opportunities for repentance and forgiveness that we would like to have.
