In this lesson we discuss Thought Habit #12, the importance of forgiving (ourselves and others) and how to judge righteously. We are commanded to forgive all men, that includes ourselves. We look at the evolution of forgiveness, understanding, empathy, love and look at the dangers of not forgiving (we make other people our masters). We talk about the need to forgive, even major injury or abuse, we can give all that pain to the Lord. We must forgive our past mistakes and realize that we did the best we could with the light and knowledge we had at the time. When we try to practice righteous judgement we must do so by judging situations, not people and always remember that the Lord is the final judge, not us. We give a reminder to look at our children through the light they currently have instead of the light we have.
