Repentance

I know repentance is possible because of the Atonement of my Savior Jesus Christ. I know that true repentance is a processes and is not one that is easy. I know that when we truly repentance and abstain from doing wrong, our Father in Heaven is please and we come to know true happiness. Having repentance available helps us progresses and grow spiritually. Through repentance we come to appreciate the gospel and the commandments. Through sorrow we come to know what true happiness is.  

1. Bare Up Their Burdens with Ease 

Elder David A. Bednar, April 2014, General Conference: Sunday Morning Session, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2014/04/bear-up-their-burdens-with-ease?lang=eng

“Sometimes we mistakenly may believe that happiness is the absence of a load. But bearing a load is a necessary and essential part of the plan of happiness. Because our individual load needs to generate spiritual traction, we should be careful to not haul around in our lives so many nice but unnecessary things that we are distracted and diverted from the things that truly matter most.”

“We live in perilous times; nevertheless, we can find hope and peace for ourselves and for our families. Those living in sorrow, despairing at the possibility of children being rescued from where the world has taken them, must never give up. “Be not afraid, only believe.” Righteousness is more powerful than wickedness.”

4. The Divine Gift Of Repentance
Elder D. Todd Christofferson, October 2011 General Conference: Saturday Afternoon Session, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2011/10/the-divine-gift-of-repentance?lang=eng&query=repentance
“Without repentance, there is no real progress or improvement in life. Pretending there is no sin does not lessen its burden and pain. Suffering for sin does not by itself change anything for the better.”

“Repentance exists as an option only because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. It is His infinite sacrifice that “bringeth about means unto men that they may have faith unto repentance” (Alma 34:15). Repentance is the necessary condition, and the grace of Christ is the power by which “mercy can satisfy the demands of justice”

“Are you taking full advantage of the redeeming power of repentance in your life so that you can have greater peace and joy? Feelings of turmoil and despondency often signal a need for repentance. Also the lack of the spiritual direction you seek in your life could result from broken laws. If needed, full repentance will put your life together.”

“Washing dirty linen and repentance are intrinsically linked. Sin brings an uncleanliness before the Lord that must be reconciled. There is, however, a time and a place for confession and asking forgiveness.”
