I have realized how the ...Thank you for your post. I have realized how the atonement is so individual. We would not need it if we did not choose wronf. So I caused hurt and pain and even death to my Savior. He did it for me. I have made choices no matter how many or how small that took me away from my Heavenly Parents. My brother brought me back. Not only did he bring me back, he carried me back. I was selfish and I did not do all that was asked of me. I listened to someone who did not want me to return to my Father. Not only did I listen, but I followed him. Those who chose to do that in the preexistence were not able to gain a body. Those who chose to do that here lose their chance to return. And yet I did it. I messed up. How merciful our Father was to make a plan to allow me to return and watch and suffer as his beloved innocent son suffered mercilessly for my sin! How merciful was my brother who did not make any of those choices, and yet suffered so terribly for my choices. Why do I continue to make wrong choices, why do I torture my brother who helped me. Why do I allow myself not to follow my Father. Oh weak child that I am. I am so sorry Father. We must be strong. I must get back to the path no matter the cost and stay there. It is the only way. Oh that I may not be blind, that my eyes can discern what is before me. Oh That I may be strong and fear only God. Oh that I can repent, and his grace will be sufficient, that I will not get left behind, that I may return to his presence. Oh that I will not cause another drop of blood to be sweat in my behalf. Please Father help me.<br />His atonement was for each of us, not us collectively.Lehi Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11753241898840372377noreply@blogger.com
