D&C 19:18
Christ didn’t want to do
it because He was afraid he would shrink…
“Our
Lord knew well what each of us must learn: that pain and fear are two of those
elements of opposition we must allow to exist but not allow to hamper our
journey of recovery.”
D&C 97:8
To be accepted of the
Father we must be willing to observe our covenants through every sacrifice He
may require.
To sacrifice our comfort
zones…
Interestingly enough this
is what is also required to live your true mission: to sacrifice this comfort
zone.
“We
cannot postpone this work of making amends forever.”
Her arguments are so
compelling. What choice do I really
have? It’s not if, but when: Now or Later.
p. 124 LET GO OF RESULTS
I think this is the reason
why I was not ready before. I so wish
she would have told me to wait…
“We must realize that how other people choose to
react to our efforts is NOT our business… The
only person I can bring to Zion
is myself.”
Including our
children… This is the blaring line of true
agency. There it is and it can no longer
be mistaken or obscure.
I just feel so sad for
those that choose not to come… They are
missing SO much.
“special brand of humility”… How else would I learn true meekness (to be
like the Savoir in very essence) except it be through the rejection of
others. Of course it’s within the will
of the Lord because He knows truly what I need to learn.
3 N 12:44-45
I used to be the one
judging who thought the sun should only rise on the good and not the evil. Now being judged and rejected is the perfect
opportunity for me to show true repentance for that sin.
I am so grateful that He
is allowing me to learn this. It must
hurt Him to see me in such pain. It will
all be for the best when all is said and done.
Conclusion:
The person I’ve hurt the
most is me. I never thought of that
before… So no mater the pain I think
I’ve caused someone else, my pain is still worse?
Maybe is true because all
the torture I have given myself by not living my mission with joy. I ate pain when I could have eaten freedom.
“Often we view making amends as a form of punishing
ourselves”
True dat!
“finally loving ourselves… free to receive and trust revelation”
I am free! Free at last.
Others reactions to my repentance is not my business. I release it to Him who knows best.
