Christ Heals That Which Is Broken
Excerpts

We can learn much from the scriptures about how our Savior, Jesus Christ, will help us successfully navigate the things in our lives that are broken, no matter our age. …
While the Savior was teaching in the temple, a woman was brought to Him by the scribes and Pharisees. We do not know her full story, just that she was “taken in adultery” [John 8:4]. …
Christ’s response to this precious daughter of God was “Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more” [John 8:11]. Another way to say “go, and sin no more” could be “go forth and change.” The Savior was inviting her to repent. …
The Lord teaches us that forgiving others is a universal commandment: “I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men” [Doctrine and Covenants 64:10]. …
Oftentimes we can find ourselves, like the lame beggar at the gate of the temple, patiently—or sometimes impatiently—“wait[ing] upon the Lord” [Isaiah 40:31]. …
Exercising faith in Christ means trusting not only in God’s will but also in His timing. For He knows exactly what we need and precisely when we need it. …
… There is nothing in your life that is broken that is beyond the curative, redeeming, and enabling power of Jesus Christ.
