Just in case anyone ever needed, or will ever need, a reminder, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland once said (and I quote, in case the image breaks later), "However late you think you are, however many chances you think you have missed, however many mistakes you feel you have made, or talents you think you don't have, or however far from home and family and God you feel you have traveled, I testify that you have not traveled beyond the reach of divine love. It is not possible for you to sink lower than the infinite light of Christ's Atonement shines."
I believe that it's important to pay attention when prophets like Elder Holland use absolutes. "It is not possible for you to sink lower than the infinite light of Christ's Atonement shines." No matter what happens, no matter what we do, God will still love us, and He will still reach out to us and help us, same as He always has.
We will stumble. We may sometimes feel we have lost our way. But we will never be lost to God. His infinite love will still be able to reach us, no matter how far from heaven we haphazardly travel while on this Earth.
I don't know who will need to hear this message or when they'll need to hear it, but it's worth remembering that no matter how lost we feel or seem, we are not lost to God. We may wander, but it's comforting to know that it is not possible for us to wander that far.
