Doctrine and Covenants 66:10

"Seek not to be cumbered. Forsake all unrighteousness. Commit not adultery—a temptation with which thou hast been troubled."
Doctrine and Covenants 66:10


I like the image of sins being "cumbering." I think they are like that... they pile on, and it is harder for us to function, and we feel heavier and heavier... until we find a way to lighten the burden through repentance. :)  It is funny to think of it this way... why would any of us go out and look for something that will just drag us down? ... and, yet, sometimes we do.  Let's unburden ourselves a little and make sure we repent. Our whole lives will feel lighter. :)
