Yea, . . . as often as my people repent will I forgive them their trespasses against me. - Mosiah 26:30

"Eternal vigilance is the price of eternal development," President Gordon B. Hinckley said at the October 1994 general conference. "Occasionally we may stumble. I thank the Lord for the great principle of repentance and forgiveness. When we drop the ball, when we make a mistake, there is held out to us the word of the Lord that He will forgive our sins and remember them no more against us. But somehow we are prone to remember them against ourselves.". . . The Lord is forgiving, but sometimes life is not forgiving.

". . . We must strengthen one another, help one another, play the game together if we are to win the victory. . . . Stay away from the mire in the pastures of life. Look upward to the heavens and draw strength therefrom."
