I have been trying to read the Bible and the Book of Mormon more often but I find that sometimes it is intimidating to pick them up and read. I sometimes cheat by going to LDS.org and just searching for a keyword, usually I pick a word that is on my mind. Tonight the words marriage and forgiveness were on my mind and these following quotes are some that I found helpful.
-"Our task is to become our best selves. One of God's greatest gifts to us is the joy of trying again, for no failure ever need be final." --Thomas S. Monson, "The Will Within," Ensign, May 1987, 67
-"wickedness never was happiness.” (Alma 41:10.)
-“Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness: …Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.” (Ps. 51:1–3.)
-“Thou shalt love thy wife with all thy heart, and shalt cleave unto her and none else. And he that looketh upon a woman to lust after her shall deny the faith, and shall not have the Spirit; and if he repents not he shall be cast out.” (D&C 42:22–23.)
-"Will ye not now return unto me, and repent of your sins, and be converted, that I may heal you?’ (3 Nephi 9:13).
I shared these with David and I hope that he sees in them something helpful.
