Coming Closer to Christ

I was reading this talk about coming closer to Christ and repentance. In the talk, by Henry B. Eyring, he discusses repentance and how it means making a change in life. While I was reading I was thinking about repentance and how I always feel like repentance is needed when you do something bad. I had never really thought of it before but, I realized that you also have to repent when you don’t do something good. This is a difficult concept for me. I am still trying to reconcile it in my head. How exactly do you repent for something that you aren’t doing and what happens when you keep forgetting to do the things you are supposed to? Like I said this is a work in progress for me, but that is the great thing about the gospel and our Heavenly Father’s plan. The point of it is to be a work in progress. We are constantly striving to be more like Christ and we are so blessed to have the atonement for the MANY times we don’t live up to His example. Not only did He give us the example of how we should be, but He provided a way for us to overcome our shortcomings and still live with our Heavenly Father again.
