Because of Him

Because of Him we can have peace.
Because of Him we can be happy.
Because of Him we will live again.
Because of Him death has no power.
Because of Him we can be saved.
Because of Him we can live with our Heavenly Father again.
Because of Him we can see our love ones who have passed.
Because of Him Satan has no power unless we give it to him.
Because of Him we can regain perfect bodies after our death.
Because of Him we can live joyously.
Because of Him we can do great things.
Because of Him we have hope.
Because of Him we can change the world.
Because of Him we can leave behind regrets.
Because of Him there is no lasting pain.
Because of Him wrong is made right.
Because of Him all unfair things can become fair.
Because of Him we have Salvation.

It was the ultimate expression of love.

I have made to many mistakes to count, do I wish I could redo my life at times- certainly. But do I have regrets- no because I know that once I have repented The Atonement has made it right. I think the key is to feel sorry, make it right, repent, learn from it and move on. Don't spend valuble time regretting your mistakes. They can be made right through The Atonement. I know without a doubt that The Atonement is real. I know that our Savior loved us enough to die on the cross for us, beaten, bruised, and spit upon. He loved us that much. He loves us beyond comprehension. I know that The Atonement makes it possible for us to return to live with our Heavenly Father someday. I know that everything stated above is true. We can have peace and hope and joy and salvation. If we will just believe and accept this glorious truth! I am so thankful for the Saviors amazing gift to us.

This past year I have learned so much about The Atonement. My faith has been strengthened beyond measure. I love the come follow me curriculum and everything it teaches. I think one of the most powerful atonement lessons I have learned is the 3 principles of The Atonement.
                  1)All that is unfair can be made right through the atonement
                  2) Love
                  3) Through The Atonement the natural man can be overcome.
I know with out I doubt this is true.
