Sunday Morning Session
Your Repentance Doesn’t Burden Jesus Christ; It Brightens His Joy
Excerpts
Today I want to speak to those of us who sometimes feel, “Repentance and forgiveness seem to be working for everyone but me.” …
I’ve learned that if you wait until you’re clean enough or perfect enough to go to the Savior, you’ve missed the whole point! …
I testify that while God cares about our mistakes, He cares more about what happens after we make a mistake. Are we going to turn to Him again and again? …
The invitation to repent is an expression of God’s love.
Saying yes to that invitation is an expression of ours. …
We don’t stay on the covenant path by never making a mistake. We stay on the path by repenting every day.
And when we’re repenting, God forgives without shaming us, comparing us to anyone else, or scolding us because this is the same thing we were repenting of last week.
He’s excited every time He sees us on our knees. He delights to forgive us because to Him we are delightful!
Don’t you just feel that’s true?
Then why is it so hard for us to believe?! Satan, the great accuser and deceiver, uses shame to keep us from God. …
… Your worth is always “great in the sight of God,” no matter where your decisions have taken you. …
I stand here to witness that Jesus Christ gives light to those who sit in darkness. … Walk over and turn on the Light—our Perfect Brightness of Hope.
