"But behold, he did deliver them because they did humble themselves before him; and because they cried mightily unto him he did deliver them out of bondage; and thus doth the Lord work with his power in all cases among the children of men, extending the arm of mercy towards them that put their trust in him." (Mosiah 29:20)
Christ has an ever-lasting desire to show unto us mercy, and will do so as we put our trust in Him and follow Him and keep his commandments. We are not perfect, we stumble and fall. We sometimes lose our way. Sometimes we even act out in open rebellion against Him. And yet, He stands ready to receive us should we choose to turn back to Him and lean on Him.
As I face a new start and new direction in my life, this is a comfort to me. I know He is there, that He loves me, and although there may be moments when I lose sight of that or forget the true extent of that love, He is always there to remind me. Sometimes it's a gentle nudge, sometimes it's a shove. It's always what I need at that time. I am grateful for Christ, for the Atonement which He selflessly performed, and for His great willingness to love me and forgive me.
