She begins with a personal story about painting a portrait of the Savior, a task that initially felt overwhelming and later became a spiritual learning experience. During this process, Sister Yee made a significant mistake that seemingly ruined her work. However, through perseverance, prayer, and divine help, the painting was restored even better than before, symbolizing Christ’s ability to transform and heal broken things.
Sister Yee emphasizes that repentance is not merely about admitting wrongdoing but about experiencing a deeper love for God and feeling His love in return. She underscores the Savior’s unmatched power to redeem, referencing His invitation for all to return to Him and be healed. She reassures listeners that no one is beyond His reach, regardless of their struggles or past sins.
This process includes recognizing sins, confessing and forsaking them, restoring what was damaged, and striving to live righteously. Sister Yee also draws attention to obstacles that might prevent individuals from accepting God’s love, such as pride, fear, or complacency, urging everyone to set aside such barriers.
She concludes by affirming that Jesus Christ’s atonement is the source of hope and transformation. His power extends to all aspects of life, including healing broken relationships and redeeming that which seems lost. Sister Yee encourages patience in the repentance process and reminds her audience that real change often requires repeated efforts. With Christ’s help, each new day brings the possibility of joy, redemption, and divine love.
