I'm often saddened to hear of those who want to feel the love of the Savior, but think they have somehow done too much or gone too far. The Savior's atonement is infinite - there is no mistake or sin it cannot completely cleanse. If the Savior were a mechanic, His shop would be full of scratched, dented, and totalled cars. Yet he would continually turn out each one looking and feeling brand new.

Remember, the moment you earn or deserve mercy, it is no longer mercy, it becomes justice by definition because you have earned it. Mercy is mercy precisely because you don't deserve it.
