(June 10, 2015)
I think
that we, as mortals, don’t recognize just how deficient we are in the quality
of mercy which the Lord shows. If
someone had been taken in adultery and brought before me – even with the
forgiveness that the Lord has given me – I would struggle to not judge them in
some portion of my soul. That is a huge
weakness in me, especially since it persists even after I have been forgiven of
so much from the Lord.
Still,
awareness of weaknesses of this type are also a blessing. This is one of the greatest blessings of
reading the scriptures – when we are forced to look face-to-face with our weaknesses
and imperfections, we know that we need to repent and to change. And, having read this today, I realize that I
need to be less-judgmental than I am and more forgiving in order to be more
like the Savior.
