It sounds to me like you have a pretty special understanding of the atonement. You are an inspiration. To me, it helps to remember that the Lord knows what we can be, and we just have to trust that He can change us. It’s a whole lot easier than trusting that we can change. Don’t ever stop blogging, you made my day.

Yes, and when repentance becomes your attitude, IOW you realize it’s something you do for the rest of your mortal life, and that you’ll keep learning and progressing throughout Eternity, it is just as Paul said: You’re a new being. And it won’t happen without applying the power of the Atonement in our life.

It also gives you a healthier kind of confidence. You know that the Savior’s gift is a part of your every day.

(I could have written more about continuing repentance. I learned by hard experience that it is too easy to think you’ve gone through the checklist and you’re done.)

This is a wonderful post! I think we consider repentence as a line-item checklist, when it is in reality a process. It is painful, but beautiful beyond description when you can look at yourself and say “I am not the [person] I was.”

Thank you.
