Thoughts To Ponder

This week has been a mix of many surprising things. Good stuff mixed in with not so good stuff. And underneath it all, is this amazing love the Savior has for me, for us, for everyone.
In rereading the talk by Elder D. Todd Christofferson, "The Resurrection of Jesus Christ"; there was a phrase that caught me. It was from Elder Neal A. Maxwell: "Christ's victory over death ended the human predicament. Now there are only personal predicaments, and from these too we may be rescued by following the teachings of Him who rescued us from general extinction."
"Personal predicaments".......how many times have we struggled with ours? how many times have we reached out for help with them? how many time have we received answers for them?
The resurrection of Jesus Christ brings us the Atonement. The Atonement helps us with our struggles. The Atonement is the help we reach for. The Atonement has the answers we seek.
Elder Christofferson also stated "By the same token, we are all accountable to Him for our lives, our choices, and our actions, even our thoughts. Because He redeemed us from the Fall, our lives are in reality His."
As we accept the Atonement, we come Unto Christ.
