The Atonement Covers All Pain!

Hey all!

So here is a little spiritual thought for your week. It comes from the
April 2011 General Conference talk "The Atonement Covers All Pain."


We all have little things inside of us under the surface of our skin.
The size, deepness, and severity of position all vary amidst us.
While, these things are troublesome, not all of them cause infection.
Many of them we can endure life with even though it typically brings
discomfort. Yet, life is never as full and whole while we have foreign
or unwelcome things inside us. Fortunately, there is a perfect
Surgeon. However, to remove it he must inflict MORE pain for a brief
period of time. Then he knows exactly how to reduce the pain and heal
the wound.

I know this is true. I've experienced this changing power of the
Atonement of Jesus Christ. We can turn to him in all our weakness and
not be judged or mistreated. He will care for us perfectly if we ask
and allow him to be the source of that healing. No other source or
coping mechanism will fully heal us. I love Him for all he has done
for me and for all his Brothers and Sisters. We are truly lucky to
have the opportunity to learn and to grow without suffering all the
penalties for our mistakes or the mistakes of others. Pain is
essential to growth an d the Atonement covers it all.

Love, Sister Hudson
