D&C 75
After William E. McLellin did not faithfully complete his mission to the East, the Lord said to him -
"...verily I say unto my servant William E. McLellin, I revoke the commission which I gave unto him to go unto the eastern countries;
7 And I give unto him a new commission and a new commandment, in the which I, the Lord, chasten him for the murmurings of his heart;
8 And he sinned; nevertheless, I forgive him and say unto him again, Go ye into the south countries." (Doctrine and Covenants 75:6–8)
I find it interesting that the Lord does not necessarily immediately forsake us abut continues to forgive and love us giving us opportunities to repent and try again.
