Nothing I did or achieved made me worthy enough before God. All of my hours of prayer, fasting, scripture study, deliberate acts of service, church and temple attendance were insufficient; it all failed to make me feel good enough and feel worthy before God because I lacked the understanding that simply being was enough."<br /><br />I understand feeling this way. But you and I chose 2 different options out of it. It sounds like you chose to omit a belief in progression and halted steps toward becoming like Christ. I chose the Atonement. I choose it daily to keep myself from ever feeling "not good enough". The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints always proclaims that even if you can never be worthy or good enough according to your own strength, you can be through the Atonement of Christ. Stopping your belief in it doesn't make it untrue. <br /><br />These are vital truths. Truths that change and mold lives into becoming whole and full of the pure love, the charity of Christ. No matter what we tell ourselves or other people, the Atonement is always there. For EVERYTHING! I'm eternally grateful and totally indebted for this knowledge of truth. It has changed me and continues to change me all the time. It pushes me into places I never thought I could go and helps me to turn every difficult time into an opportunity to learn, grow, and become like my Father in Heaven. <br /><br />I totally AM sad that you have chosen to believe something different, but only because I freaking love you and know how much Godly potential you have inside of you (because you are a human on this wonderful earth). When the teachings of Christ and His Church are sought prayerfully, and we endure through the difficult questions that arise, it becomes easy to recognize how much worth you DO posses. Instead of focusing on the things you DON'T.<br /><br />Love you Kell Bell...<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954844892731045584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930806714578945953.post-51478233152670758592015-12-14T15:30:35.277-07:002015-12-14T15:30:35.277-07:00Beautiful.

It is something already within our beings. "<br /><br />YES YES YES!!!!!!<br />Also, sooo happy to be reading your blog posts again.
