2 Nephi 22

In this chapter, everyone, but especially the House of Israel, will once again praise the Lord because of his love and his goodness. These verses remind me of the great relief and joy a person feels when they have repented of major sin. It feels so good to feel clean and have all the weight lifted. Guilt is a terrible burden to bear but thanks to the atonement, it can be swept away. The wonderful thing is, he never abandons us. Israel, in spite of their great wickedness and refusal to accept Christ as their God, is never forgotten or given up on by the Lord. He promised he would exalt them and he will. He will never give up on us either. Their will come a time when we will perfectly know his great love and at that day, we will do and say the same similar things that are mentioned in this verse.
