Scripture #4

D&C 58:42 "He who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more". This scripture helps us to feel hope that we can be forgiven of our mistakes. It is a source of hope. So if we are "trying to be like Jesus", then hopefully we will develop a forgiving disposition. If we want to be forgiven, then we have to forgive. Once our spouse has asked for forgiveness, our goal should be to do as the Lord has promised and "remember" them no more. I guess that means that if we are tempted to "rewind", "replay", or "rehash", past mistakes, that doesn't qualify as "remembering them no more". NO ONE IN THIS WORLD knows our weaknesses and strengths as well as our spouse does. So we should be each other's cheerleader and help each other improve and get better at overcoming those weaknesses. AND pray for each other and the strength to forgive AND forget.
