As I read in Alma 42 versus 29 to 31 I reflected a lot on how I can become a better man and disciple of Jesus Christ. I want to focus on verse 30. Many times in my life I found that I tried to make excuses for past sins that I have committed. I know that I'm far from perfect. This scripture helped me to feel that no matter what you've done in your life. God loves you so much. I know sometimes it might be really hard to change or maybe sins that you wanted to just throw into a box burry it and never remember them again. But repentance will help you to change and more importantly be happy! Instead of keeping things inside, follow the council of Alma and let the justice, and mercy of God completely dominate your heart, and let this humble you to the dust. Our sins are what restrict us from progressing, it tears you down, and starts to wear you out.
As I read in the scriptures I find so many answers to what I need to do in my life. God has guided me as I sincerely pray to him asking for his help, and as I study his words. Repentance is a gift from God that permits us to feel his love every single day. He's always cheering us on. He wants us to make it back to him. He did it because he loves us. No impure thing can dwell in the presence of God 1 Nephi 10 21 and 22. I love the great plan of Happiness that God has prepared for us.
Love you all,
Elder Horton
