"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased because Christ hath ascended into heaven, and hath sat down on the right hand of God, to claim of the Father his rights of mercy which he hath upon the children of men?
For he hath answered the ends of the law, and he claimeth all those who have faith in him; and they who have faith in him will cleave unto every good thing; wherefore he advocateth the cause of the children of men; and he dwelleth eternally in the heavens."
Moroni 7:27-28
I like the idea of Christ claiming his rights of mercy here. Through the atonement, he satisfied the demands of justice, and so it is his right to offer us mercy, and help us learn to repent and change and grow into better people. And if we have faith in him, he claims us, and we will seek after everything good.
Today, let's have faith, and do everything we can to learn about Christ and claim some of that mercy that he grants us, taking advantage of that space to learn and repent and become the people that we really want to be. With his help we can overcome our mistakes and failures and find our way to a better place and better selves.
