“However late you think you are, however many chances you think you’ve missed, however many mistakes you feel you’ve made, or talents you don’t think you have, or distance from home and family and God you feel you’ve traveled, I testify that you have NOT traveled beyond the reach of divine love. It is not possible for you to sink lower than the infinite light of Christ’s atonement shines. Whether you are not yet over our faith, or were once with us and have not remained, there is nothing in either case you have done that cannot be undone. There is no problem which you cannot overcome. There is no dream that in the unfolding of time and eternity cannot yet be realized. Even if you feel you are the lost and last laborer of the eleventh hour, the Lord of the vineyard still stands beckoning. Come boldly to the thrown of grace and fall at the feet of the Holy One of Israel. Come and feast without money and without price at the table of the Lord.”
President Jeffrey R. Holland
“There is no physical pain, no spiritual wound, no anguish of soul or heartache, no infirmity or weakness you or I ever confront in mortality that the Savior did not experience first. In a moment of weakness, we may cry out “no one knows what it is like. No one understands.” But the Son of God, perfectly knows and understands, for He has felt and born our individual burdens. And because of His infinite and eternal sacrifice (Alma 34:14), He has perfect empathy and can extend to us His arm of mercy. He can reach out, touch, sucker, heal, and strengthen us to be more than we could ever be, and help us do that which we could never do relying only upon our own power. Indeed, His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.
“I invite you to study, pray, ponder and strive to learn more about the Savior’s Atonement as you assess your individual load. Many things about the Atonement we simply cannot comprehend with our mortal minds. But many aspects of the Atonement we can and need to understand.”
Elder David A. Bednar
