"Therefore, O my son, whosoever will come may come and partake of the waters of life freely; and whosoever will not come the same is not compelled to come; but in the last day it shall be restored unto him according to his deeds.
If he has desired to do evil, and has not repented in his days, behold, evil shall be done unto him, according to the restoration of God.
And now, my son, I desire that ye should let these things trouble you no more, and only let your sins trouble you, with that trouble which shall bring you down unto repentance."
Alma 42:27-29
I really like this chapter... so many great things. It goes very deep into the plan of redemption--why death is necessary, why repentance is required, etc. as Alma explained it to his son Corianton. This summary is compelling, explaining that we get to choose, but whatever we choose will be restored to us. Today, let's let our sins / those things that we don't want restored to us / trouble us to the extent that we are willing to repent and change and work with God to clear those things from our lives and we can move forward again without those burdens. God can help us if we ask for his help.
