Our dear Prophet, President Russell M. Nelson, shared an important and timely message on forgiveness:
My dear friends,
The Apostle Peter asked Jesus how many times he should forgive someone who had sinned against him, suggesting seven times. But Jesus responded not seven times, but “seventy times seven” (see Matthew 18:22).
Forgiveness is not just a one-time act but a continuous process that requires patience, compassion, and understanding. It is not always easy to forgive those who have hurt you. You can receive strength from Jesus Christ.
I invite you to remember the principle of seventy times seven and extend forgiveness to someone who has wronged you. As you do, Jesus Christ will relieve you of anger, resentment, and pain. The Prince of Peace will bring you peace.
President Russell M. Nelson
I am so grateful for a Prophet of God who receives revelation from on high to guide us and direct us in these days. Please let the blessings of forgiveness enter your lives, including forgiving ourselves of our sins and mistakes. That takes courage and faith in our Savior Jesus Christ. Through him nothing is impossible!
