Am I Beyond Saving? | His Grace

- Have you ever felt the burden of grief or shame? Or the feelings of despair and hopelessness that come from making poor choices? Kelly did. She was lost. She was a drug addict, a prostitute, and she was unable to care for her children. Sometimes she didn’t even feel human. And what she was left with was a feeling of absolute fear, terror, and loneliness.
Kelly felt convinced that she would never be worthy of the Savior’s love. But what she didn’t realize was that even though she thought she was beyond saving, God’s love is unconditional. It wasn’t until she began to consider the idea that maybe there could be hope in Jesus Christ that her healing began.
Kelly’s life didn’t change overnight. But with the support of her family, and by seeking repentance, she began to feel forgiveness from her Savior.
Do you know that God loves you? Do you know that you’re never too broken or too damaged for God’s grace to save you?
Jesus Christ has the power to heal your wounds.

I was a drug user, drank a lot and smoked 2 packs of cigarettes a day. I was convinced I would die in that state. Thanks to God's grace and mercy I was able to quit all those things and was baptized in 2008. I have been drug, alcohol and tobacco free for 11 years and have no explanation other than the power of our Heavenly Father's mercy and love. I'll never go back. Only forward. Thank you Heavenly Father in Jesus' name. Amen.
Thank you for sharing!
Love your story
My vocabulary is not adequate to Express how amazing you are brother. We all can be with Christ.
God bless you always. We are all beggars for His mercy.
Mike, that is fantastic!
Thats very inspiring bro i hope you stay still and be steadfast
Powerful. What this woman went through had me in tears and sobbing, and I'm a guy. We're not supposed to cry lol. I am glad she found the Savior and was able to heal through the atonement. The father loves all his children no matter what they struggle with. I'm a wayward child myself trying to find my way back to the gospel right now. I thank God for Christ and his atonement. I also thank him for healing those who are suffering like this woman was. I am happy for her.
As I. Pls. Message me.
We always have our tunnels to conquer keep walking towards the end where the light is....for the Savior is waiting for you there.
I feel like we should normalize guys crying as much as we have normalized women crying, it's a natural human thing and it's a powerful, human thing to experience emotion.
Guys are supposed to cry.
you should read her book my dude
“You can never sink farther than the light of Christ’s Atonement shines”
Mitchell Johnson thank you, I need to know this right now. This gives me hope
I was thinking my mom would never get off of drugs but now that I see this I have Faith and hope!
I hope you get to make your mom change i wish u luck and ill include you to my prayer God bless
So pure
My prayers are with you Madi.
Please know, her drug use, is not because of you, or anything you did or did not do, or a reflection of your worth.
Know she loves you... I promise you, you are so important to her, no matter what she does or appears as.. her love for you is real, and I pray in Jesus name that through him, you come together in Love.
You're a beautiful soul Madi, and your Mum must be so proud.
I would love to hear how you're doing via an update x
You're in my prayers, amen.
There is always hope no matter how bad things look, there is always a light at the en of the tunnel God bless you and you and your mom safe!
2 years, 7 months, 12 days clean today. We do not come close to comprehending all the atonement of our Savior can do for us. Indeed, all things are by Him and through Him. With His stripes we are healed. Anyone, ANYONE can be healed on condition of their willingness to let Him heal them. His arms are outstretched, He calls to us without ceasing. He loves us.
Thankyou xx
4 years now I hope!!❤️
I was a homeless, agnostic heroin addict in 2013. Though His Grace, I sobered up, joined the Church in 2016, met my Wife, and was sealed to her in 2017. We now have 3 three beautiful children together and are continuing to grow together in his grace constantly. I promise that His love is farther and deeper than our shallow egos can comprehend. I PROMISE.
Thank you for sharing your experience and testimony!
I'm so happy to hear about your story!
If you hit the dislike button you obviously didn’t listen to this beautiful woman’s story. Her story could be anyone’s. This story can relate to all people not just those who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
So true sister.
Sometimes dislikes boosts videos up when searched.
Yah idk
Glad she was able to fix her crown! ❤ We all can - always, anytime.

That was awesome! Wow. You are not broken. You are not the sum of your choices. You are worth it. You are a child of God.
Wow. Thank you Sister.
And thank you Jesus... for everything you did for her, and everything you have done--and will yet do--in our lives.
Aman

Beautiful story of God's love, mercy, and forgiveness. Wonderful!
Thank you!! Beautiful! 💗
The power of the Savior to save and redeem is real.
What an amazing woman! No matter how far we think we have strayed from Him, the Lord is always there for us, to help bring us home. He loves us, no matter what.
I love to hear stories about how Christ and our Father in Heaven reach out to all their children. You are never beyond their reach, you just need to reach up. God loveth his children!
Beautiful, powerful testimony of the depth of Christ's atonement. Thank you for sharing this. ♥️👼
I really needed this today. Thank you.
Wow! I felt the Spirit of Love.
He hears our prayers.God ls Real.He has blessed me in so many ways
Praise be to the LORD for He has not stopped showing His kindness to the living and the dead.
I absolutely loved this
Wow. That quick answer was so touching!
Great video, glad to see church dealing with real issues rather than making everything seem like peace and light.
Wow!!!!
I am so grateful for our loving Father in heaven. I know that he hears and answers every single one of us no matter our choices but as long as we turn to him and let him take control there will ALWAYS be a way back to him.
I am grateful for the choice u made to pray for help and then 2 lovely sis missionaries knock on the door is a true blessing and answer to ur pray.
I love this true and everlasting gospel and I gonna keep loving Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ for all time and Eternity❤❤❤❤❤ xox
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing story. It must've been hard for her but I'm so grateful she opened up. Christ's atonement is incredible
Lehi, Alma the Elder, Alma the Younger, Paul, Amulek, Zeezrom, and many other people in the scriptures who found themself in a dark and dreary waste, later came to have some of the most beautiful stories, and God was able to show them how much he valued their lives and how much potential they still had despite their pasts.
When He touches you, you reborn from the ashes, clean as when you was a newborn. It's that simple.
His grace is sufficient for all who call upon His Holy name.
draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you
our sins are never to be to forgiven.
Later year before i got baptize i was in a place almost l
i use to thing that i can't be forgive . if i go to hell i don't care my life was tough and alot of things were going on.
until one day the Antigua branch president came knocking on our door spoke to us the invited use to church.
The best choice i have made in my life.
i went to church in march i got baptize in April.
the lord is always with us.
I'm quite sure what you mean is that "our sins are never too BAD to be forgiven." That's how I'm reading that at least. I agree!
Steve Govern thanks for the correction
Just a helper will Thank you for sharing some of your story. I wish everyone knew that the Savior is always waiting and the very moment we decide to turn to him, he floods us with love & forgiveness. Satan tries to make everyone think we are worthless. He tried doing that to Christ in his most vulnerable moments. I love stories like yours, I have a similar one. Thank you again!
You are strong... I know, because you have the Holy Ghost protecting you. You are an Angel daughter of Heavenly Father.
Proud of Our Lord and our beloved friend that came up and even now the society can never match or test her intelligence,her experience,her power to change.All the way sweetheart,my heart goes with extreme Joy when we see this kind of ppl make it because she will be doing fantastic ministry that u can even change certain states view of thinking.Praise The Lord Jesus and His most Gloriest Ever Loving Most Misunderstood True Father...
This testimony of God's grace and power exceedingly touching! Expecially when you prayed and the missionaries appeared. Wow!
A true answer to my prayers.
Powerful.
Thank you
His love changes us from the inside. What a beautiful story. Thank you!
She is all of us. In the Savior's eyes, we are all just as lost and all just as desperately in need of saving as this beautiful soul. Not only does she belong in the House of the Lord, that house was built for her and people like her.
i love You God and Jesus! Amen
thanks for sharing that message of hope through God's love and grace and Christ's atonement.
Beautiful. Just what I needed today. What a wonderful story of rescue and redemption, and of God's power to restore our souls to complete spiritual health.
Kelly you possess so much power do much light . I now know that the hardest battles are given to the strongest soldiers . You are enough you are beautiful and you belong to him . I just love you my sister 💕
Thank you.
The Atonement is real. Videos like this really help me to understand a little better what God feels. That it doesn’t matter where we have been or what mistakes we have made, He rejoices when we make any step to come closer to Him and loves us incomprehensible throughout our whole journey. I felt that joy for her myself hearing her story. Life is so much more about where we are going with the help of the Savior than where we have been in the past. ❤️
Such a powerful testimony! Just shows how all of us are so undeserving of God’s grace, yet he always loves us and never gives up on us. Our Heavenly Father is the most powerful, perfect father, and we can never replace his love with anything or anyone here on earth. He gives pure forgiveness unconditional love. We are all equally worthy of love and joy. God bless you all and especially stay close to Him this holiday season!
This is amazing!!!
Thank you for sharing your heartfelt experience, Kelly.
Your experience summed up an importance facet of the meaning of life. We are here to gain experience and grow and learn from our experiences. The ultimate blessings come from the knowledge that following God's path leads to true happiness through the atonement of Jesus Christ.
Your Brother in the Lord

Such a beautiful video 😭😭
This is a wonderful witness of the power of the atonement and the healing that comes to a broken heart and a contrite spirit. Why one earth are there people who would dislike this story of change?
🙏❤️ had me sobbing hard! Powerful story sister!
This is just plain amazing.
Amazing story, thank you for sharing. What a great example and testimony of the power of the atonement of Christ and his love for each of us, no matter where we may be or what we have done. There is always hope in Christ!!
Her story is amazing. She is such a strong daughter of Heavenly Father
Wow inspirational. I’m a recovering alcoholic and smoke cigarettes. I’ve felt Gods love from meeting with the missionaries and reading the Book of Mormon
So powerful and beautiful! Thank you for sharing your journey!
Amen. Thankyou Kelly. Thankyou so much.
Amen. God is good. I wish every one of us could feel this.
I still don't know if I am worthy of saving, but I love God anyway.
I don't expect Jesus to accept me, but I accept Him, and I know your pain Kelly. I love you .
What a powerful story of true conversion and repentance and love. Thank you sister for sharing.
This is one of those wonderful stories that shows god know each of us individually and personally and the he answers prayers the way that he knows we need. I love being a part of the church and I am thankful for god in my life and all he has done for me.
I needed this hope today, this reminder of the God I love and follow. Thank you for sharing.
For the longest time I believed I would have to face all of my challenges alone. I had made all the choices in my life so now I had to live with them. I became lost, & I was afraid. I was taken advantage of. & many times left in some scary situations. After joining the church I started a new life. Many years & after getting married, I relapsed & my life became unmanageable again. My believe was, even though I had been a member many years was I have to fix this problem. Of course I made a mess out of things. I lost everything. I spent many years wandering & lost. I stopped praying. I had no direction. It was not until recently I hit the bottom, I'm not sure where that is, but it happened. Fortunate for me, because I cried out to Father. He was always there, but I didn't look for Him, I believed I was unworthy so I didn't bother. Because of His mercy I am back. I feel like I have worth. I know now He did not ever stop loving me. I will always remember I am a child of a loving Father.
Tears just flowed from my eyes as I watch this vid, Jesus Christ came because He knew we would sin that He know we needed Him. Only if we allow Him to come into our lives that He can be able to heal us. Very powerful story of trust and love. Truly truly Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love us and knows the things that our heart can't speak because They created us in Their image.
Thank you so much for your courage and testimony! You are a miracle and are beautiful!
This made my cry this morning. Such beautiful and powerful story and video
Wow! You'rs is a true story of the power of even the slightest bit of hope linked to the Savior. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful experience of your conversion! Truly, God lives and He loves us beyond our comprehension. He will change us as long as we are willing.
Yes! yes yes yes yes yes. What a powerfully moving testimony! Talk about moving mountains! I'm a convert who wanted baptism and didn't know where to get baptized. The Lord knew my heart and by some miracle twenty years ago I came across the Book of Mormon after reading the New Testament and wanting to get baptized. I opened up the phone book and called some churches and saw The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and I'd only Heard about the Book of Mormon one time. I was baptized but then fell into inactivity and now I'm in the process of repentance. I have a real testimony of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. I am extremely thankful. I love y'all.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and testimony, J Scott! We're glad you're here and wish you the best.
i was baptized, fell away, and came back after a long absence. You are wanted and needed in the church. We need you to be with us each Sunday. You can do it. Stay close to your Bishop, and to the ABCs of the gospel (study/prayer/Sabbath worship)
So moving, what a wonderful testimony 😊😭
"I knew my prayer had been heard."
Thank you for sharing. Addiction can be overcome. What a hopeful, beautiful message. Thank you Kelly.
You have no idea of how much I appreciate you sharing your story! It's good to know that there are others out there who have gone through the worst anyone can ever imagine and were able to find their way back to the Saviour. Sister i don't know you but I love you with all my heart.
Thank you for your story sister. It take courage to be so candid. I agree that the saviour's atoning sacrifice can heal. Let's face it we are all broken to some degree.
Thank you. Thank you! What a beautiful message. So needed to hear. Thanks for sharing
Wonderful story. Thank you for sharing!
What a beautiful testimony! It's amazing what the Atonement can do.
This story stands as a testimony to all the things I needed to hear. I am thankful to know that your recovery has made headway in the kingdom of God.
Wow best one I’ve seen yet! Ty for your story 👍
What a powerful testimony of God’s love for us and the lengths to which he will go to answer our prayers. Your story will be an inspiration for so many. Thank you for having the courage to share it.
What an amazing testimony of the healing power of repentance
Kelly is truly a child of god
INCREDIBLE!!! To have the strength and stamina to get off heroine is a mountain of a hurdle in the first place-especially alone and without medical assistance. Then to act on those urges to go to Church with a load of intrepidations there. Then to have the hutspa to make a video of your issues and vulnerabilities.Having family and Members on your side really helped!
Beautiful story of truth. The Savior is always there for us But we have to let him know that we want him. We must take the first step. What ever that step is.
THANK YOU for sharing your testemony! It is so powerful and you're such an example!
Beautiful story and a beautiful daughter of God. Jesus loves you so much.
Jesus Christ is LORD and SAVOUR of the world 🌏 ✝️
I LOVE YOU LORD*
This made me cry so much. Thank you for sharing ❤️ I love when you said "I am not the sum of my behavior". That's so true. You are so much more. You are a valuable daughter of God. I loved how similar your story is to Alma the Younger. When he was in such a dark place, what saved him and changed his life was thinking about Jesus and hoping that He could save him. And he did. He was transformed inside and out. Just like you. I'm so happy for you ❤️
I am here, and I love you❤
Thank you! Remarkable gift to so many who need the strength you have given through the power of the Holy Ghost and your trials!❣
thou our sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow
Thank you for sharing your story, and putting yourself in a vulnerable situation. I hope many find hope in your words as I have. What a beautiful example of the atonement.

I am tired of suffering Lord Jesus, please stop the suffering. I need you Jesus Christ.
He stands with His arms outstretched all the day long, just as He did for this sister.

Reach out in prayer and you can find peace and hope and self esteem to know you are a child of God with value that is worth being redeemed.
We're sorry to hear about the difficult challenges you are facing. Continue to turn to our Savior Jesus Christ and you will find peace and hope. You can learn more about Jesus Christ here: comeuntochrist.org
