Day 46

I just read an incredible account about how the atonement helped this woman during the hardships in her life. To read it, go here.

I love the atonement and all it does for each one of us. I feel like I talk about that on this blog almost every post, but it is so important to me. It's something that I can always, always count on. It takes the form I need it to for every trial I face. It's the comfort I need when I stand in need of comfort. It's the love that fills me when I help someone else out who is also struggling.

Jesus Christ took his role seriously. Never made a mistake, never overreacted to difficult situations, taught us the principles we needed to know in order for him to be able to carry out his divine role for the atonement to actually take place. He knew it would be needed for everything we would ever go through in this life. He understood it, and takes joy in us when we understand it better. I don't think I'll ever completely understand it. But I understand it during the times I need it, and it always heals me.
