3 Nephi 19:28
“Our Heavenly Father knows what we are facing, that we all
sin and “come short of the glory of God” again and again. He sent His Son, who
“knoweth the weakness of man and how to succor them who are tempted.” His Son
teaches us to “pray always that we enter not into temptation.” We are told to
“cry unto God for mercy; for he is mighty to save.” The Savior commands us to
repent and to forgive. And although repentance is not easy, as we strive with
all our hearts to obey His gospel, He gives this promise: “Verily I say unto
you, notwithstanding your sins, my bowels are filled with compassion towards
you. I will not utterly cast you off; and in the day of wrath I will remember
mercy.” The Savior wants to forgive.” (“The Savior Wants to Forgive” By Elder
Craig A. Cardon Of the Seventy. General Conference April 2013)
