to apply the atonement, even to the smallest of situations!
I had a very weird sabbath day yesterday; away from my normal ward, out of town (like I have been for like 5 weeks straight now..) and ect. But one thing remained the same. The spirit. I took recognition that as strongly as I felt the spirit; it wasn't in any way different than what it feels like in my own ward. This brought me comfort; knowing that wherever I may be, whatever I may be doing, I can recognize, hear and feel the Holy Ghost.
Though I've been struggling with inadequacy the last couple of weeks or so, a friend posted in an Instagram "sometimes we get so caught up in satan's unrelenting pressure that we quickly forget how many times we have been "delivered out of the hands of our enemies." It's so easy to succumb to the pressure of sin when we lose hope of succor. BUT THE ATONMENT APPLIES TO ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. and it is through and by the atonement of Jesus Christ that we can gain ETERNALNESS deliverance from the adversary. Personally I find no greater peace than that peace which stems from knowing that God knows ME. He is aware of my flaws weaknesses and the conglomeration of bad habits I struggle with. Yet he continues to gather me, to deliver me, and gently remind me time and time again that the atonement applies to me." I felt as if this was something I needed to be reminded of so badly, this statement rung so true in my heart, and so close to home. And I think the world should hear this, because of what a beautiful statement it truly is.
