lasting hope that forgiveness brings will always be worth the effort."

2. It is never too late so long as the Master of the vineyard says there is time.
Please listen to the prompting of the Holy Spirit telling you right now, this very moment, that you
should accept the atoning gift of the Lord Jesus Christ and enjoy the fellowship of His labor. Don’t
delay. (Jeffrey R. Holland, The Laborers in the Vineyard, April 2012, http://www.lds.org/)
3. I readily confess that I would find no peace, neither happiness nor safety, in a world without
repentance. I do not know what I should do if there were no way for me to erase my mistakes. The
agony would be more than I could bear. It may be otherwise with you, but not with me.
(Boyd K. Packer, Atonement, Agency, Accountability, April 1988, http://www.lds.org/)
4. If any has stumbled in her journey, I promise you that there is a way back. The process is called
repentance. Our Savior died to provide you and me that blessed gift. Though the path is difficult, the
promise is real. Said the Lord: “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as
snow.” “And I will remember [them] no more.”
(Thomas S. Monson, Dare to Stand Alone, October 2011, http://www.lds.org/)
5. We have all made incorrect choices. If we have not already corrected such choices, I assure you that
there is a way to do so. The process is called repentance. I plead with you to correct your mistakes.
Our Savior died to provide you and me that blessed gift. Although the path is not easy, the promise is
real: “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.”10 “And I, the Lord, remember
them no more.”11 Don’t put your eternal life at risk. If you have sinned, the sooner you begin to make
your way back, the sooner you will find the sweet peace and joy that come with the miracle of
forgiveness. (Thomas S. Monson, The Three Rs of Choice, October 2010 , http://www.lds.org/)
6. Repentance is a blessing to all of us. We each need to feel the Savior’s arms of mercy through the
forgiveness of our sins.
(Neil L. Andersen, Repent...That I May Heal You, October 2009, http://www.lds.org/)
7. It is the beckoning of a loving Father and His Only Begotten Son to be more than we are, to reach up
to a higher way of life, to change, and to feel the happiness of keeping the commandments. Being
disciples of Christ, we rejoice in the blessing of repenting and the joy of being forgiven. They
become part of us, shaping the way we think and feel.
(Neil L. Andersen, Repent...That I May Heal You, October 2009, http://www.lds.org/)
8. Repentance is turning away from some things, such as dishonesty, pride, anger, and impure thoughts,
and turning toward other things, such as kindness, unselfishness, patience, and spirituality. It is “re-
turning” toward God.
(Neil L. Andersen, Repent...That I May Heal You, October 2009, http://www.lds.org/)
9. Repentance becomes part of our daily lives. Our weekly taking of thesacrament is so important—to
come meekly, humbly before the Lord, acknowledging our dependence upon Him, asking Him to
forgive and to renew us, and promising to always remember Him.
(Neil L. Andersen, Repent...That I May Heal You, October 2009, http://www.lds.org/)
10. Sometimes in our repentance, in our daily efforts to become more Christlike, we find ourselves
repeatedly struggling with the same difficulties. As if we were climbing a tree-covered mountain, at
times we don’t see our progress until we get closer to the top and look back from the high ridges.
Don’t be discouraged. If you are striving and working to repent, you are in the process of repenting.
(Neil L. Andersen, Repent...That I May Heal You, October 2009, http://www.lds.org/)
11. As we honestly confess our sins, restore what we can to the offended, and forsake our sins by
keeping the commandments, we are in the process of receiving forgiveness. With time, we will feel
the anguish of our sorrow subside, taking “away the guilt from our hearts” 28 and bringing “peace of
conscience.” 29
(Neil L. Andersen, Repent...That I May Heal You, October 2009, http://www.lds.org/)
12. The scriptures warn us, “Do not procrastinate the day of your repentance.”31 But, in this life, it is
never too late to repent.
(Neil L. Andersen, Repent...That I May Heal You, October 2009, http://www.lds.org/)
13. Repentance not only changes us, but it also blesses our families and those we love. With our
righteous repentance, in the timetable of the Lord, the lengthened-out arms of the Savior will not
only encircle us but will also extend into the lives of our children and posterity. Repentance always
means that there is greater happiness ahead.
