You’re not a lost cause and Christ loves you.
.
I have family members, friends, and other loved ones who feel they’ve messed up so bad that there is no hope for them.
.
That is an absolute fallacious testimony. There is only one person who wants you to believe you’re a lost cause in the eyes of your Creator, and that’s Lucifer.
.
Your Father in Heaven loves you, and he is going to love you. He wants you to stop those thoughts and turn to Him.
.
“The Lord cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance; nevertheless” (D&C 1:31–32), the Lord said, “he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more” (D&C 58:42).
.
I love my family members and friends. Repent and become clean. The Lord is waiting. Elder Packer taught us the following.
.
“Some are led by curiosity into temptation, then into experimentation, and some become trapped in addiction. They lose hope. The adversary harvests his crop and binds them down.
.
Satan is the deceiver, the destroyer, but his is a temporary victory.
.
The angels of the devil convince some that they are born to a life from which they cannot escape and are compelled to live in sin.
.
The most wicked of lies is that they cannot change and repent and that they will not be forgiven. That cannot be true. They have forgotten the Atonement of Christ.
.
“For, behold, the Lord your Redeemer suffered death in the flesh; wherefore he suffered the pain of all men, that all men might repent and come unto him” (D&C 18:11).
.
Christ is the Creator, the Healer. What He made, He can fix. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the gospel of repentance and forgiveness (see 2 Ne. 1:13; 2 Ne. 9:45; Jacob 3:11; Alma 26:13–14; Moro. 7:17–19).”.
.
He loves you and will ways provide the way to Him; hear Him!
