Forgiveness

Sometimes a spouse or other family member may hurt our feelings. Even though they are sorry, we may find it easy to hold a grudge. We may remember the wrong again every time we become frustrated or upset with them. This can be very damaging to marriages and to families.

We should cultivate a spirit of forgiveness in our homes. After all, all of us make mistakes, and all of us need forgiveness. Jesus taught that if we want to be forgiven of our wrongs, we must forgive others (Matthew 18:21–35).

Forgiveness is essential to achieving peace in our lives and harmony in our family.
