Lifting Burdens

Lately in my missionary work I have really come to realize the importance of the atonement in our lives. I have come to see how we really can do nothing without him, the son of god, our master, Jesus Christ. He is the only way we can find true happiness and be cleansed of the sin we all carry. I have really been trying to not only know about the atonement and what it means, but apply it in my life. When we actually use it and see how it works it means so much more to us. When we know that everything we do bad can be forgiven and put behind us, what a joy. In Moses we read that "no unclean thing can enter into the kingdom of God" which obviously means that we need to be clean of our sin. One of my favorite scriptures is in D&C 58:42-43 which reads "Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven and I, the Lord, remember them no more" So not only is the burden or the weight that we feel taken off our shoulders, but we are clean in the eyes of the lord. What a great feeling to know that we can be forgiven for all the stupid things we do. All the dumb decisions, and just all the mistakes we make as a human being. I truly know that it is possible to be clean from our mistakes. I couldn't be where I am today without that sacrifice and being able to repent. We can let all that stuff go and move on with life, but the only way to do that is through our savior Jesus Christ! He is real and he atoned for you personally. My prayer is that we can all come to know and apply the atonement in our lives and see how we can be freed of our sin.
