Are you able to enumerate the mercies
of God? The sins of the worst person, before the compassion of God, are
like a handful of sand in the ocean. There is no sin which overcomes the
compassion of God. God may be portrayed as our mother: is it possible
for the sin of a child to overcome his mother’s love? If a mother loves
her child so much, how infinitely does God love us, Who clearly proved
this by being crucified on the Cross?
The Apostle Peter denied the Lord
three times, yet through repentance he was restored. The great
persecutor of Christians, the Apostle Paul, through repentance became
the chief of the Apostles. Prostitutes, thieves, tax collectors, and
innumerable other guilty people were sanctified by repentance. For this
reason, cast away your distress and excessive remorse; be hopeful; take
courage, and drive away every thought of despair.Elder Ephraim of Arizona
