Moroni 7: 48 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen.
I love this scripture because of what it taught me. I was having a terrible time forgiving someone and then one day I was reading my scriptures and these words jumped out at me. I realized that my problem was that I was trying to do it alone but in fact I needed the Savior's help. And then I began to do as the scripture says - I prayed with all the energy of my heart to be relieved of this burden I was carrying. And as always, the Lord is true to His word and that help came.
Human life is too complicated for us to be in the position of judging others and so the Lord has asked us to forgive - even seventy times seventy! It indeed a wonderful gift that He has given.
