Do you remember the story of the boy who cried wolf?
He kept wasting everyone’s time by calling for help where there was no danger.
Eventually, he cried “wolf” so many times that no one came to help him when a wolf actually arrived.
No one believed him when he really meant it.
It’s so easy to believe that we, too, only have a certain amount of times of calling out for help before we look like a hypocrite.
“Really? You think you are actually going to change this time, even though you thought that last time, too?!”
“You must not really be trying.”
But I’ve learned that the Lord never gives up on us.
“Yea, and as often as my people repent will I forgive them their trespasses against me.” (Mosiah 26:30)
He never gets to the point where He says we’ve used up His trust and that He won’t believe us anymore.
He’s cheering us on!
As often as we need.
Even when we feel like a hypocrite to the outside world, we’ve still got the Lord by our side.
No matter how many times it takes!
Happy Studying!
