"They Were Forgiven"

Forgiveness is such a central aspect of the gospel, but sometimes it feels like it doesn't apply to us, like no matter what we do, we will never be good enough. In Moroni 6:8 is says, "But as oft as they repented and sought forgiveness, with real intent, they were forgiven." Along with this I think of D&C 58:42: "Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more." It is amazing to me that God will continue to forgive us as often as we repent. Everyone has this opportunity. No matter how many times we mess up, how many times we say we'll be better and we slip again, if we keep repenting, we will be forgiven. He loves us, He wants the best for us, and He  believes in us. He has faith that eventually we will overcome our problems. Even when we think there is no way that we can be forgiven or that we will ever be able to become the person we are meant to be, God is there for us, and if we sincerely go to Him, He will help us. And when we repent, He won't remember our sins. He won't hold them over our head and remind us of all the mistakes  we've made. He lets them go and lets us move on. President Gordon B. Hinckley once said, " The Lord did not send you here to fail." He doesn't leave us with no way out of sin. He wants us to come back to Him, become like Him, and receive all the blessings He has to give us.
