I have a friend who told me he has a gap between two of his teeth that catches food. He has to floss it every day, sometimes after every meal, or it becomes unbearable. And while he’s at it he usually just flosses the rest of his teeth.
He’s got healthier gums than a lot of people because he flosses daily. Flossing can make a big difference in the health of your mouth. Doing it regularly is the key.
I think sometimes God gives us things to help us feel the need to take action, to make changes.
Repentance is the process of changing and improving, relying on the grace of Jesus Christ. Few things will change your life as much as a regular focus on dailiy repentance. Sometimes we don’t feel the need to change. Personal weaknesses or setbacks or persistent problems can become blessings in our lives, if they help us re-engage with the process.
Sometimes if a man is compelled to be humble, he will seek repentance. And sure all those who seek repentance shall find God’s mercy. (Alma 32)
