There Is No Limit to God's Love | His Grace

Despite her desire to repent, Carissa repeatedly fell victim to her addiction. Each time she messed up, she said she felt it set her back to the beginning of her repentance.
“Why would I feel this way if God really loved me?” she asked herself.
She earnestly desired to change. She sought the support of others. In time, she came to understand the mercy of God’s grace to forgive her as she sought to conquer her pornography addiction. “I learned there was no cap on the number of times the Savior forgives,” she said.
God’s purposes are to help His children grow from experience, which can be frustrating and may seem pointless at times. He didn’t remove the trial, yet, as Carissa learned, He continually shares His love and the abundance of His Grace as we earnestly strive for righteous desires.

...this has been my experience, almost word for word. I think Heavenly Father answered my prayer differently today by sending me here to listen to your testimony. I've never been able to fully put into words the way that I feel about forgiveness when it applies to me, and you put it perfectly. There's no different level of forgiveness for different sins, there is only forgiveness and a loving God and a merciful Savior. Thank you💛

[@juliaproudfit6530]

I am so beyond impressed with her courage in sharing her story. We dont hear a lot about women and pornography so this is so refreshing and real. So so inspiring.

[@carlosgardellamerino9589]

I really apreciate when LDS are so willing to share their true heart experiences even when it could be difficult to do so. It's so uplifting and inspires so much hope. Thank you very much for doing this!

[@richardlusk8024]

There’s a reason why confessing is so important

[@christiefedries4724]

I also really like this honest side. This video shows that being a Christian is difficult and that we struggle with such difficult things but that thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ we can be saved from this because freedom is found in Christ.

Props to this girl for sharing this. Women have struggles with this kind of stuff, too, not just men. Thank you 💖💖💖

[@hv2328]

Heck yes! I'm grateful for her

[@davidcali99]

This is incredible. If anything we try so many times to take on sin ourselves when our Savior has done it for us, and we just need to reach out to others for His help. So many times God uses our friends, leaders and family as his tools and we just need to ask. Thank you for sharing this with us :)

[@jenfollette5769]

You sweet girl! I can guarantee you've given hope to more individuals than you know! Thank you for being human and genuine and sharing your private struggles. We are so blessed to be forgiven and loved unconditionally. 🤍

[@Horsehead147]

I'm glad they showed a woman for this video. We just had a missionary couple who did a presentation on pornography and that was one of the points of it, "it's not only a problem for men". It is a problem for everyone. It harms everyone. I used to attend the church's addiction recovery group, and there are meetings for general addictions, which is pretty much anything you can think of, and then there are SPECIFIC pornography addiction groups. It has become a huge problem. I have encouraged people who may not feel like they struggle with this to attend meetings or at the very least read through the addiction recovery manual (a wonderful book for anyone, both member and nonmember, those who struggle, and those who may not feel like they do. Do not wait until the enemy is at your gates to put up your defenses. We live in a time when this is all around us. It feels like we are running a marathon in all white clothes through a mudslide daily. Just remember to wash those clothes daily. Do those things that will protect you and your loved ones. Take care all. The fight is here, now.

[@guardianangel9517]

AMEN 💗

[@danielmaluenda9731]

That book is golddddd

[@koolertrek]

We all are flawed and need a Savior. Don’t judge others-support them through their sin. It’s a life struggle.

[@guardianangel9517]

GOODNESS... I am really humbled by this video. It reminds me of that scripture "..oh wretched man (woman) that I am." Many times I too feel like a btoken record when I'm repenting, but have learned to THANK FATHER for helping me with the progress I HAVE made, and to please forgive my weak slip-ups, and to please help me FURTHER my progress, and I thank Him SO MUCH for His love, grace, and patience with me, and I ask Him to help me offer others more of the same.🙏🏼 What a blessed journey we have if we repent.. It's so FREEING and COMFORTING! In the BEAUTIFUL name of our Savior and SWEET loving brother Jesus Christ, Amen ❤🙏🏼💜💞💕💖🤍🕊

[@angelaaleman7787]

Thanks to this girl for sharing her story! That is so very brave to be so vulnerable. I still need to work on allowing forgiveness and grace for myself so I really appreciate messages like this 💕

[@williamslater8741]

I grew up in a Mormon church and now I have no religion. I’m just a Christian but I’ll never forget what an awesome God we have. Can’t wait to play my drums at church this Sunday. God bless you and your family.

[@Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

You are not 'just a Christian'. You are a child of God and believe in your Savior. In this we are united.

[@dbcollins6]

Thank you for being so open with your struggles! I think too many people don't think pornography effects women. It's a real struggle for so many men & women. Thank you for bringing to light the fact that people want to be your supporters and cheerleaders. It's not judgment it's about love ❤🥰

[@FAMILYFUN-un1zm]

I too have struggled with this addiction too many times and today I have been clean of it for many years, after many failed attempts. What a merciful God we have; He continues helping us even when we feel unworthy of His help. The key is to keep repenting again, again, and again till we overcome...and we will have the "power to overcome all things". Thank you for sharing Carissa! Doctrine and Covenants 50:35 35 And by giving heed and doing these things which ye have received, and which ye shall hereafter receive-and the kingdom is given you of the Father, and power to overcome all things which are not ordained of him

[@SuperSierra2929]

She is so loved !!! God's guidance is the key!! No matter what pass has been you have a spotlessly future.

[@Romeo-nl1zw]

This is a marvelous video and topics that really need to be addressed and not swept under the carpet. I live alone, no vehicle to get around, no one comes to visit my positive outlet is to go to the gym and be around positive people and to absorb positive vibes from others. Covid does not help the situation, ask God for guidance to stay on the right path, go for a walk in the park take your scriptures, meditate, share humor with someone.

[@leroynisse5936]

Love the honesty of these videos. I often feel the same as Carissa, wondering if I can really be loved by Heavenly Father as I keep screwing up. I appreciate her testimony of His eternal love. Thank you.

[@Seraphim1314]

Sister Ko!! It is good to have you to serve in our area ❤️❤️

[@jamesschmidt9217]

…from “So Far from Perfect” to “So Far from Perfect”: I didn’t realize there someone out there in the world with the same name! God bless! I know He lives…and loves each of us! His Grace is sufficient…for each of us!

[@danielmaluenda9731]

Im so impressed with her love of courage and honesty to share this with her family and now to the world. I feel how deep her struggles were and how much faith she's showing, makes me believe all together

[@davidglover5255]

You're experience is almost exactly word for word like mine. I thought I could do this on my own, I needed to do this on my own. I was the one who messed up, so I was the one who needed to clean up. I would fail miserably. Father loves me so much, He doesn't want me to be on my own. He will be there with me & for me.

[@prathameshbile5865]

[@stanleyroberts4381]

Thank God for forgiveness, none of us are perfect.

[@drewjuancano9665]

This is an awful struggle to bear, I know from experience. It seems like you get a hold on it and then you fall again. The key is to get back up, brush yourself off, and put your faith in the Lord. He knew you would have these problems in life and that is why he provided a way back. Just keep trying and ask the Lord for strength and his will give it to you. We all have weaknesses but with the Savior's help, they can become strengths. Kudos to this young woman for sharing her experience, shame is the adversary's way and hope is the Lord's. Keep fighting everyone.

[@almaflorez6139]

Thank you for sharing. Our Heavenly Father loves us and forgives us . I’m so grateful for the atonement

[@randyvoss2331]

Amen. His Atonement is real, as is His Love.

[@meghanchristensen6512]

Please keep making this series. I am pretty active in the church like I’m young women’s president and I liked watching the church of Jesus Christ’s videos on sundays but there’s something different about this series, I like it so much I look forward to every new notification on one of these videos

[@boorappa1]

Thank you for sharing this! Our Saviors’ love for us is never ending! Nobody is perfect but a way was set up for us to work towards it. Rely on the savior and you’ll always be right :)

[@BrandonSmith-nd7mv]

Thanks for sharing your story and your struggles. Sometimes the best thing to do is to tell somebody about it and get it into the light, because as we do this more and more we get to see the addiction for what it is and can more easily give it up. This is not an overnight thing but it can take years. Love you sister.

[@abhinavbasa1996]

Sister, our Lord is my witness I have gone through similar experience that u have. And truly my heart confesses his love is greater than my sins and only by the mercy and love of our saviour Jesus Christ, I can say unto this world that I am still counted righteous in the sight of our God only and only due the holy blood of Jesus Christ that he shed for my sins. Amen 🙏

[@ayishanazir4292]

Thank you for this, I really really needed this. Cuz it's hard for me to forgive myself of the things I've done when I was very young.😔❤

[@guardianangel9517]

Years ago, a bishop handed out cards (wallet sized) which said YESTERDAY ENDED LAST NIGHT..... When we repent, it DOES end in God's eyes. Why keep punishing yourself when God has already FORGOTTEN it? 🌻💜

[@MarleeCraig]

Thank you for sharing your personal trial with us, I know it's not easy to speak about things society deems to be shameful. With spiritual eyes, trying to improve, and being on the journey to improvement is not shameful at all. Weaknesses are not shameful, it shows we are human. We live in a world where the desires of the body and mind come first. It takes time, practice, and constant reliance on the spirit to change this. To anyone who thinks they are not worthy because they keep failing when trying to improve, or they are in a situation they feel they can't get out of, let me just say *You are not a failure* *Don't believe the voices that keep you chained to the addictions of the body and mind* While you may not be able to overcome the challenges right now, what you can do is put yourself in an environment where you can constantly hear the spirit speak to you. That is something you can control.

[@randy3440]

Thank you for your great testimony of Christ's atonement and love. Reminding me of my own weaknesses and God's amazing strength and love.

[@USSResolute]

When people work towards a good thing, we cheer each small step. When a runner shaves a few seconds off their time, or clears a hurdle without knocking it over, even if they don't win a medal, we celebrate. Then, when people work to escape an evil thing, we seem only to be able to see when they stumble and fall, especially when that person is us. We need to see repentance and improvement in all aspects the same way- baby steps. Like a loving earthly father, our Heavenly Father celebrates every step His children make even WHEN they stumble and trip. As CS Lewis wrote, "He wants them to learn to walk and must therefore take away His hand; and if only the will to walk is really there He is pleased even with their stumbles.” This is His grace, to celebrate every baby step we make, not because we crossed the room without His help, but because we're headed toward Him.

[@fawnduhtheestallion1786]

This girl is a lot like me! I’m not addicted to pornography or anything but oftentimes around others I let my standards slip so I can fit in and be liked by others. Then I go to bed feeling discouraged like I’ll never be able to change. I feel like why should I be able to repent because I know I will probably just end up doing the same thing over again and it’s just this cycle of really wanting to change and praying to god telling him I will be better and then getting in front of people and falling prey to the same traps again. It’s really nice to know that I can repent as many times as I want but I still don’t feel like I should be able to because I honestly strive to be better but I always end up falling short day after day

[@ClaudiaPerez-di4or]

I Believe that the Lord will allow the Trials to help us gain knowledge & wisdom, so as we can "HELP" others struggling with the same issues! *God will always be there watching over us with his Son Jesus Christ @ our side, so we are not walking alone through our struggling journey of life, in the name of Jesus Christ.

When it came to my previous pornography addiction and masturbation, I wanted it to change immediately and it to fade faster, but it took lots of painful days. But now since I fought and resisted for months, it has gotten so much easier, and have thought of it very little. I feel so cleansed by our Lord and Savior, but it took time and prayer.

I am glad this message is about women and pornography. The porn addiction problems affects both men and women in the church. Addiction problems are not so much about the addiction, but are instead about a root cause problem. The solution is to find the root cause of the problem. The need for pornography will disappear. It is also important not to shame the person with the problem. That will make it worse. Seek psychological help with an addiction expert. Life will get better.

I too have been suffering from this problem for a long time, and by hearing this gives me the courage to seek help from my bishop and sincerely confess to my parents this issue in my life. I was almost finished reading the Book of Mormon last night and was seeking answers in overcoming this obstacle and when that's when I read in Moroni that the God's gifts manifests in different ways and one of them includes the healing power of the Spirit of God. When I read that part in the scripture I was overcome with the warmth of the Savior, reassuring me that I was still His child and that He has never left me nor loved me any less than before. And with that reassurance, I asked for forgiveness and promised to actively repent for my mistakes. Thank you sister for sharing your beautiful testimony as it gave me strength and comfort to face my challenges!! ❤️❤️❤️
