Trials!

I know, nobody probably reads my blog but I figured it's a good place to put down some thoughts I've had recently. So I guess it's a perfect place to write since nobody reads it!

There are many times we don't understand why we have to go through some things we have to go through! The only person that really knows is Heavenly Father. When we put our trust in him we will live wonderful lives...still with trials, of course, but the reward will be something we could never imagine! I have struggled with things in my life and still do, but I am so grateful for the Atonement and the power of repentance and prayer! I know that I could not get through a lot of things if I didn't know about the Atonement! I would not be able to forgive myself of things if I didn't know that I could be forgiven. I would not be able to get through hard times if I didn't know that someone has felt, exactly, all of my pains and sufferings! Jesus Christ is the perfect example of love and charity because He gave his life and suffered willingly to give us that help (knowing someone knows what we feel) and so that we could rise in the Resurrection and be perfected! He is the greatest help that we could ever ask for in this life...unfortunately, we, many times, forget about Him and all that He has done! We take it for granted...I am victim to this! I won't lie...I have thought, "It's ok, I'll repent later!" That is self-destructing!!! I pray for help to never do that again! I am human, hence, I am a sinner! It comes with the body but we have been given every opportunity to overcome the natural man and move closer to Christ! He does not want us there just for Him but because He wants us to be happy with our own families and with our Heavenly Father! He knows the joy it will bring us! I know my Savior lives! He loves me! The Spirit has testified of it to me! I will never deny the gospel of Jesus Christ and never deny that the church of Christ is upon the earth - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! Heavenly Father loves his children so much that he did not want to leave us without the fulness of the everlasting gospel which is why he restored it through a prophet, Joseph Smith, and I will be eternally grateful for that and for the work Joseph Smith did for the world!!!
