Embrace the Lord’s Gift of Repentance

When he talked about feeling inadequate in his calling at times I thought “he’s obviously nervous and feeling inadequate right now.

“No matter which part of the covenant path we are on now, focus on {repentance}.”

My friends, repentance is joy! Sweet repentance is part of a daily process through which, “line upon line, precept upon precept,” the Lord teaches us to live a life centered in His teachings.

Our Savior’s Atonement is infinite and eternal. Each of us strays and falls short. We may, for a time, lose our way. God lovingly assures us [that] no matter where we are or what we have done, there is no point of no return. He waits ready to embrace us.

Obstacles will come. Let us not wait for things to get hard before turning to God. Let us not wait until the end of our mortal lives to truly repent. Instead, let us now, no matter which part of the covenant path we are on, focus on the redemptive power of Jesus Christ and on Heavenly Father’s desire for us to return to Him.

It is impossible to turn to God too early.

The Master Potter will mold and refine us, which can be difficult. Nonetheless, the Master Healer will also cleanse us.
