"What does matter is that Christ is pleading our case before the Father, 'saying: Father, behold the sufferings and death of him who did no sin, in whom thou wast well pleased; . . . wherefore Father, spare these my brethren [and sisters] that believe on my name, that they may come unto me and have everlasting life.' That is what really matters and should give all of us renewed hope and a determination to try one more time, because He has not forgotten us.
"I testify that the Savior will never turn away from us when we humbly seek Him in order to repent; will never consider us to be a lost cause; will never say, 'Oh no, not you again'; will never reject us because of a failure to understand how hard it is to avoid sin. He understands it all perfectly, including the sense of sorrow, shame, and frustration that is the inevitable consequence of sin.'" (from Remembering in Home We Have Trusted)
~ Elder Allen D. Haynie, of the Quorum of the Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
