MY Jesus
I used to always think that self-mastery is a process of submission that as we grow closer to becoming “perfected” that we are like rocks being made smooth in a flowing river. As I was just studying my scriptures I just had an image that it is not us at all that are being made smooth- maybe it’s more like a car body repair man where he takes bondo to fill in the dents. Or like a rock with many cracks and pits that is being covered by smooth soft mud: that as we become whole we gain the capacity through the atonement to serve. This happens not because we are perfect, but because our basic human needs have been met; our cup has been filled; we have become whole through the atonement. We are then made smooth through Christ as He is the mud that covers our sins to fill all our cracks and dents, and we become one with Him.
