Mosiah 4:3 "And it came to pass that after they had spoken these words the Spirit of the Lord came upon them, and they were filled with joy, having received a remission of their sins, and having peace of conscience, because of the exceeding faith which they had in Jesus Christ who should come, according to the words which king Benjamin had spoken unto them."

This picture hangs on my mirror in my room at home. It reminds me that no matter what, I can repent, and that I can try again. It is so easy to give up or feel like nothing will ever be enough, but this is a reminder of His sacrifice, and that I have so many chances to start over. I'm so grateful for His redeeming sacrifice and love.
