But that's not fair!


Sunday was Fast and Testimony meeting. Sometimes these meetings are really good, and sometimes they aren't...this was one of the times where they were really good. Or rather, I heard something that has stuck with me the past few days.

One of the guys in our ward got up and started talking about the Atonement. Not in the typical way. Not in the way where he'd admitted to doing something wrong and then was forgiven, or given a second chance because Christ suffered for our sins. Though, he certainly could have done that.

No, this guy got up and reminded us how much the Atonement actually covers. I think we oftentimes forget that the Atonement doesn't just cover our sins. It is a great portion of what the Savior did for us, when He paid the price for our sins - but that's not all. Not only did He do that, but He suffered for our pains, our weaknesses, our emotional scars and all manner of suffering. The guy in my ward also mentioned, that Christ's Atonement also covers all injustices. Any time we say "that's not fair" we can remember that whatever it is, it has already been taken care of through Christ. And that's why we can turn to Him whenever we need Him.

We are so blessed to have this knowledge of our Savior. To know that the Savior lives, that He loves us and that He has paid the ultimate price to have us back in our Father's presence. It's my testimony, and if it isn't yours - I suggest you look into it.
