It remains . . . for you and me to both seek and tender [the Savior's] forgiveness—to both repent and to extend charity to others—which enables us to pass through the door the Savior holds open, thus to cross the threshold from this life into exaltation. Today is the day to forgive others their trespasses, secure in the knowledge that the Lord will thus forgive ours. As Luke significantly recorded, 'Be ye therefore merciful' (Luke 6:36; emphasis added). Perfection may elude us here, but we can be merciful. And in the end, repenting and forgiving are among God's chief requirements of us."
Lance B. Wickman, "Today," Ensign, May 2008, 105
I liked this quote because it has made me do a little thinking about forgiveness and repentance. Lately, I have found it easier to bring up things from the past that I had let go along time ago. When infact in reality it is me, myself that I am really angered with and find it difficult to accept my own failures and my own disgressions. For me forgiving is easier than repenting and admitting to my own shortcomings and failures.
