What if I told you there was someone who knows you
perfectly, someone who knows your flaws and weaknesses perfectly, someone who
you can turn to and receive a perfect answer. I think we often forget that God
is knows each and one of us perfectly.
There are times in life when we struggle, when we will plead and pray
for help. I know there are times when you will feel like giving up, when life
seems to be unbearable, but God knows that. God expected that each and every
one of us are going to struggle and fall at times. And when we choose to turn
to God in our time of need and despair, we choose to turn for peace. God will
teach us about his sons unbearable/beautiful earthly ministry while He was here
on earth. He will guide us to the comfort of Jesus Christ, because he too felt completely
and utterly alone, and I don't find that to be a coincidence. God have us the gift of a Savior, and the
Savior gave us the gift of the Atonement. I know there are those who feel like
they get nowhere when making the right choices. Those who feel like God has
forgotten them. And those who feel like there's no hope in putting God first. But
I can promise you making the right choices in life will pay off over and over
again. You will be eternally grateful for the making the right decisions. ( I
choose the statement "eternally grateful" because Gods plan is eternal)
But there will be times when our mind
will be blurred from the sins of the world, and we will fall back into temptations
over and over again. Elder Cook stated in the 2013 April Conference " Even
with the trails of life, because of the Saviors Atonement and His grace, righteous
living will be rewarded with personal peace" The Latin meaning for the word Atonement means
becoming one with God... I don't find that ironic. Christ once said "In me ye shall have peace"
What a beautiful comfort that is.
