Christ is on my mind these days. I guess that is because we just spend about four months singing Christmas music, we just had a beautiful program right after we partook of the sacrament, we watched a few Christmas programs on the video, we just tried to show our love for so many with small tokens of our love through gifts, and we are reading the Book of Mormon, finishing it again on December 31 to start again.
Christ is dwelling in my mind. It is hard to fathom how much He must love each one of us as we remember His birth, and also covenant to remember Him as we remember the atonement. When I start to think of my mis-deeds, the weakness of my soul, and as Nephi said, "Oh wretched man that I am, .... the sins that do so easily beset me.." I can't help but feel gratitude in my heart, but pained to know that I caused Him pain due to my weaknesses.
Without His mercy, His love, and His understanding of each of us, we would all be doomed. None of us would return to our Father again. Hope would be totally gone. Oh how grateful I am for His all knowing and acceptance of us in all phases of our life.
I am so grateful for the scriptures in Alma 41 where it promises that we will be judged upon the desires of our heart. He knows my heart. He knows yours, and every one's. He can't ignore painful mistakes, but He continues to love us and support us. How wonderful it is to each of us.
This directly ties in with our mission because we will be helping teach this concept to strangers. I am so excited about going on a mission in about FIVE months. All proceeds as planned, but I must do many things to be ready.
