How easy are you to forgive?

2/22/2019

While sitting at my desk working on the March Express, I received a phone call from someone wanting to order some of my husband's book "A Study on the Holy Ghost." While talking to her I found out that I had not proofed the book as well as I should have. Did she complain, no. Could she have complained, yes. She forgave us for the mistake. How many times do we see mistakes and complain? More times than we should, if we want to live the life that Christ wants for us.

I try to be perfect, and will continue until I die, because the Bible states that we are to be perfect even as our Father in Heaven is perfect. Yet I, like everyone else makes mistakes and this is why I am so glad that my Heavenly Father will forgive me each time that I ask for His forgiveness.

Matthew 18:23-24 "Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven."

Mark 11:26 "But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses."

Then when I called my brother to get help with the error in the book he told me about his website and asked me to read it. The link is below. Please take time to read it. He talks about forgiveness.
