Miracles

Ok, time to play "catch up"... I've MISSED A FEW DAYS!!!! But! I'm BaCk! ;)

So, a talk that I have been studying, (for this 30 day challenge I have been doing), really amazes me.
Like really.
Quite literally.

Years ago, when I was like graduating from high school (?) I heard this AMAZING talk about repentance and the Atonement in General Conference. It inspired me so much—in such a way to set my life in order.
The name of the talk? "The miracle of the Atonement," by C. Scott Grow.
Haha wait. Check out that name! :) Amazing huh? C. Scott Grow.
....

Continuing, this really hits home every time I read it, however, I just want to highlight one thing:

"We access the Atonement through repentance. When we repent, the Lord allows us to put the mistakes of the past behind us."

The Atonement is accessed through repentance and therefore, when we repent, we are actively using the Gift He soo graciously gave unto us.

THE ATONEMENT IS FOR EVERYONE.

We hear that quite a bit, huh?

I think it is quite easy to forget where our strengths come from...
and just as easy to forget that the Atonement is for everyone.

....And just as easy to forget that when I make a mistake, I must remind myself, to breathe.
To recognize that yes, while I made a mistake, I can start over.
To realize that repentance is a gift not a punishment.
That through repentance, I gain access to the Atonement.

And who would hold back on accessing such a blessing and gift?

Something else that came to mind while reading:
That while healing takes time, our healing begins once we turn to Him—whether we recognize it or not.

Until next time franz!!..
JT! :D
