“When the Lord says, “Repent ye, repent ye,” what if you imagined Him saying, “I love you. I love you.” Picture Him pleading with you to leave behind the behavior causing you pain, inviting you to step out of darkness and turn to His light.”

-Tamara W. Runia, First Counselor in the 16th General Young Women Presidency
