"But behold, your days of probation are past; ye have procrastinated the day of your salvation until it is everlastingly too late, and your destruction is made sure; yea, for ye have sought all the days of your lives for that which ye could not obtain; and ye have sought for happiness in doing iniquity, which thing is contrary to the nature of that righteousness which is in our great and Eternal Head.
O ye people of the land, that ye would hear my words! And I pray that the anger of the Lord be turned away from you, and that ye would repent and be saved."
Helaman 13:38-39
This is something we definitely don't want to hear about ourselves. :) And maybe we should think about it so that we understand how to avoid it, you know? I think we do often seek things that we can't obtain. For instance, pleasing the world and pleasing God, trying to play both sides and not actually make the choice. And too often we seek happiness in doing iniquity as well...
Sad thoughts, but the awesome thing is that it is NOT everlastingly too late for us. When we see that we are going in the wrong direction and not finding true happiness, God can help us turn around and repent, and still be saved.
Today, let's not procrastinate our salvation. :) Let's get right on that, and once we're on track there, we can worry about other things. Let's definitely avoid this message being addressed to us.
