it defines us and makes up who we are
but the same pieces of our personal history that made us who we are we seek to Hide and even destroy all reference to if possible.
Why?
because of Repentance
The Atonement of Jesus Christ makes Repentance possible if not for him this life would never progress, learning, growing, existing
all would be wiped away and impossible
but Christ DID atone and as a result we can Repent
Repent is a powerful word
sometimes used in the church to the point of boredom
how many of us hear about repentance and think that's just for those that committed the big sins and what not
WRONG
Repentance is literally turning our hearts to god and away from sin
to CHANGE to become something new to let your actions chart a course of change in your life and in your soul
I have to petition the father with great earnestness to repent just as much as any
Drug addict
Murderer
slothful person
has to
because they like me are all changing
I have to become better day by day
or all is nought
we only have this time on earth to learn and develop the traits of Jesus Christ
we are setting a course to the Eternities
there is not a moment to lose
Press forward with steadfast faith in Christ my Good Brothers and Sisters
Ponder anew the Things God can Do with you
live life to the richest you can by making each day an adventure no matter what you are doing
and above all
love one another
Until I write you again I bid you all adu
