5.12.15

Renlund. Latter-day Saints keep on trying. Sat PM.

I loved this. It reminded me of the story of Alma the Younger, that has always been one of my fave BOM stories.-

I'm no saint-that is, unless you think a saint is a sinner who keeps on trying.

We may be perfected by repeatedly and iteratively relying wholly upon the doctrine of Christ: exercising faith in Him, repenting, partaking of the sacrament to renew the covenants and blessings of baptism, and receiving the Holy Ghost as a constant companion to a greater degree.

God cares a lot more about who we are and who we are becoming than about who we once were. He cares that we keep on trying. (wow)

Twas I; but 'tis not I: I do not shame to tell you what I was, since my conversion so sweetly tastes, being the thing I am. (More wow)
