Mormon Monday

This weekend I had a bad experience. I don't feel it is my place to share the story with everyone on the internet but I'd like to tell you what I learned from this experience. I was reminded how grateful I am for repentance. How lucky are we that when we screw up big time we can always repent. President Kimball said,
 "God is good. He is eager to forgive. He wants us to perfect ourselves and maintain control of ourselves. He does not want Satan and others to control our lives. We must learn that keeping our Heavenly Father’s commandments represents the only path to total control of ourselves, the only way to find joy, truth, and fulfillment in this life and in eternity."
God is Good! And He loves us! As I was driving home from this experience I was feeling pretty bad for the person involved. I said a prayer for him and when I was done I got the overwhelming feeling that God does still love him. Even though he has lost his path for the current moment God still loves him and will accept him with open arms when he is ready to repent. I hope you all feel the love our Heavenly Father and Jesus have your you and know that through repentance we can again live with them again.
