Mosiah 4:28--Return What You Borrow

And I would that ye should remember, that whosoever among you borroweth of his neighbor should return the thing that he borroweth, according as he doth agree, or else thou shalt commit sin; and perhaps thou shalt cause thy neighbor to commit sin also.

One time when I was at Ricks my roommate Dave borrowed some money from me to pay a rental deposit, or something like that. For a few months he kept forgetting to pay me back. Finally I started bugging him incessantly until he did. Within a few days I was reminded that previous to Dave's borrowing money from me, I had borrowed almost the same amount from another friend. I had completely forgotten about it, but she never bugged me about the money. I felt very small and disappointed in myself.

I don't know what we can do to improve our ability to remember to return what we borrow, but King Benjamin tells us we should. To remember on our own means we shouldn't have to be reminded. I don't want to sin, nor do I want to cause my neighbor to sin.
