Section 3

1 The aworks, and the designs, and the purposes of God cannot be bfrustrated, neither can they come to naught. It gives me great peace and security to know that God's plan cannot be frustrated or swayed or messed up by anyone or anything! My plans are frustrated almost daily, but God's are secure and firm. We can count on, rely on, and depend on them. 6 And behold, how aoft you have btransgressed the commandments and the laws of God, and have gone on in the cpersuasions of men. I feel like this scripture applies to me directly. I feel like I make poor choices so many times and so constantly that I deserve this rebuke way more than Joseph Smith. And probably we all do. 8 Yet you should have been faithful; and he would have extended his arm and asupported you against all the fiery bdarts of the cadversary; and he would have been with you in every time of dtrouble. He ALWAYS said, if you would just be faithful, or in other words if you would just have enough faith… everything would have turned out fine. 10 But remember, God is merciful; therefore, repent of that which thou hast done which is contrary to the commandment which I gave you, and thou art still chosen, and art aagain called to the work; But we should always remember that no matter how many times we are weak, if we will repent (again) we are still chosen and called to the work and we will be greatly blessed. He doesn't care how many times we fall; what is important is that we constantly repent and keep trying to do what is right. What great mercy and love!
