The Atonement is for you.

The Atonement is intensely personal and uniquely crafted for our own individual circumstances and situations. ...  ...  ... The risks of our becoming distant from our Father in Heaven and the Savior are significant and constantly around us. Happily, the Atonement was meant for all of these situations as well. That is why Jacob, the brother of Nephi, described the Atonement as “infinite” (2 Nephi 9:7), meaning without limitations or externally imposed constraints. That is why the Atonement is so remarkable and so necessary. Little wonder, then, that we not only need to appreciate this incomparable gift but also to understand it clearly.

  1. This quote really struck me. "uniquely crafted for our own individual circumstances." Thanks for the post. Its been tough and I'm grateful to have the Atonement but glad to have found this blog to read the stories of others.
