🌅 Within Reach

 

Dear Reader,

Today I received a simple good morning text from a friend:

“We cannot sink so low that God cannot lift us to freedom.”
—John Harrold  Good morning 😊

---

There are moments in life when we feel we have gone too far…

Too far into regret
Too far into mistakes
Too far into ourselves

And in those quiet moments, a question arises:

“Can I still be reached?”

---

That text brought to mind the words of Elder Jeffrey R. Holland:

“However late you think you are, however many chances you think you have missed…
I testify that you have not traveled beyond the reach of divine love.”

---

Long before those words were spoken, the same truth was written in the Book of Mormon:

“His arm is lengthened out all the day long.”
—2 Nephi 28:32

“He inviteth them all to come unto him…”
—2 Nephi 26:33

---

Notice the direction.

Not just that we are invited to come…
but that He is already reaching.

Not occasionally.
Not when we deserve it.

But “all the day long.”

---

In recovery, in faith, and in life, we sometimes believe the distance is ours to overcome.

But these witnesses teach something greater:

The distance has already been crossed.

---

The message is simple—but not always easy to accept:

You are not too far.
You are not too late.
You are not beyond His reach.

---

And perhaps today, the only thing left to do…

is not to climb higher—
but simply to look up and take the hand already extended.
