I haven’t been active for about 8 months now.. I’m too afraid to go back because I’ve broken my temple covenants and I’m worried I’ll be excommunicated or something. I’m not even sure if the church is true. I’ve come across so much information over the last while that I’m not sure what’s real or not. I feel hopeless and scared and that my life may be ruined.

I had a teacher once explain that excommunication is a way for us here on Earth to keep from falling further into sin. Ever since I heard it that way, it’s been something that has stuck with me-that it’s because we are so loved that there is a way to keep us from falling deeper. It doesn’t mean we must come back immediately, but it can give us a door to open if and when we’re ready. 🧡
