The prophet Isaiah gave hope and comfort to all who have stumbled and made mistakes when he revealed these words from the Lord: ""...Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as now; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."" (Isaiah 1:18) With a broken heart and contrite spirit, we can receive forgiveness and learn from our mistakes. Part of what we may learn in the process is that happiness comes not only from receiving forgiveness, but also from extending it!""
