One of the first lessons that children learn in Primary, is Forgiveness. In Nursery they learn to say, "I'm sorry". May we learn to say them as quickly as our small nursery children.
If we are continually pressed down and kept from achieving our
potential because of the wrongs that other’s have down to us; we need to do
what our children would sing to us in their Disney Elsa voices, “Let it go, Let it go.” The
gospel and our Savior’s atonement provide the way.
Sister Jean A. Stevens said, “The gospel is not weight. It is
Wings. It carries us.” May we use the atonement to lift and carry us as we
learn to forgive others.
As Christ was about to be crucified on the cross, he uttered:
“Father, Forgive them”.
My challenge and homework assignment for this week: take a
step to forgive someone: write a letter, leave a note, send a text or better
yet, Pick up the Phone and call.
Don’t carry a misunderstanding or disagreement to the grave.
