The joyful news for anyone who desires to be rid of the
consequences of past poor choices is that the Lord sees weaknesses differently
than He does rebellion. Whereas the Lord warns that unrepented rebellion will
bring punishment, when the Lord speaks of weaknesses, it is always with mercy. All
of Father in Heaven’s children come to mortality with the Light of Christ.
Regardless of the cause of their sinful deeds, the effect was the development
of a spiritual vulnerability that Satan would attempt to exploit. Each of us
has had times in our lives when we have made poor choices. We are all in
desperate need of the redemptive power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Each
of us must repent of any rebellion. “For I the Lord cannot look upon sin with
the least degree of allowance.” He cannot because He knows what it takes to
become like Him. – Richard G. Scott
