Acceptance

Just shortly after my divorce I was having a very hard time in my life. When my home teacher came over and was talking with my family, I decided it was time to look into coming unto Christ again in my life. I texted one of my friends and asked him to help me to learn the gospel a little bit better. When he responded with a resounding yes, I felt a sudden warmth spread over me, from my heart out to all of my body, that I could only describe as an incredible love and utter acceptance. This is something I believe you can only feel through Christ.Through this instance in my life, I gained a testimony of the entire Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints. Prior to my divorce I was very weak in the church I didn't believe it was true, I wanted little to do with it, all because of the members. Now I have found my own two feet and stand much stronger in the gospel with a firm testimony of Christ's atonement, the power of the priesthood, and the restoration of the gospel. I have an amazing friend to thank for that! Here is a little something that came out of that time.
 
Found

Before I was weak, Now I am strong.
Before I was naive, Now I have grown,
I was alone, I was scared.

But now, Now I am never alone,
I am always comforted;
Because I, I have found God.
I hope with all of my heart that this can touch all of you as much as it has me. To help get through the times when you feel like you can never do it right, you'll never be good enough. Know that to Christ, you can do it right, and you will always be good enough. 

With all the love in my heart.

Have Faith, Love Often
