Repentance
“There was something about that first church visit. I left with a giddy-up feeling I hadn’t felt in years.”
“In this spiritual application, “RICE” can stand for Repentance, Imparting of ourselves to others, Covenants and Endurance.”
My whole surroundings became quiet and I heard a voice telling me not to do it.
“I can’t stand the church. Period.” That’s what I said to the Elders who were asking me to read the Book of Mormon and to truly listen to what they had to say.
“I had no reason to come back. I didn’t realize I was unhappy or looking for something, just suddenly that day I needed to talk to the bishop.”
“There is no distance so far that you can’t return to Him and revel in his grace and glory. You always have a reason to hope.”
The Lord is able to do His own work. The question is will we repent, change and keep up as He hastens His work?
