"Know ye that ye must come unto repentance, or ye cannot be saved."
Mormon 7:3
We hear about repentance a lot, but I think we also push it to the background and normally we don't really want to think about it. It's effort, and hard for us to face the need to change. Repentance is the way to salvation though, so it's good to hear the reminder that we need to make that effort.
Part of the problem is in the way that we think about it. Repentance is scary because it is hard to change, and we think that we are losing part of ourselves. Today, let's acknowledge the connection between repentance and salvation... and let's remember that it isn't about losing ourselves, but about finding, and saving, ourselves, through God's gift of repentance and the ability to change and improve.
