What If

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.
