Parable of unmerciful Servent

In Matthew 18 verses 23-35, the parable of the unmerciful servant is shared. I love this parable because it teaches us a valuable lesson. I am going to just quote all of the verses and then I will share my thoughts:)

"Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
Shouldest not thou also had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses."

This story has been a big lesson builder to me this week. I personally have gone through a tremendous amount of trials. I like the the lord in this parable was not treated right even after I gave compassion to others.
It is so easy to be like the servant and ask the Lord for compassion and then turn and not give it to others, even when they ask for it from us. I have learned so much from this parable and how we must treat others the same way we would want to be treated. Learning and gaining the strength to forgive someone after they hurt or wrong you is very hard to do. But the Lord has told us that we must forgive our brethren for their trespasses. This semester has been a time where I've had to forgive a lot of people. More just in the last 3 months than in the last year. I am grateful for forgiveness. And for the teachings that Christ gave while he was on the earth. We are so much happier when we forgive and we become eternally grateful.
