1) Forgiveness
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other,
just as in Christ God forgave you.
Ephesians 4:32
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
Colossians 3:13
Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times? Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.”
Matthew 18:21-22
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
