Gratitude to the Lord

I feel so grateful to the Lord today. I feel closer to him and farther from satan. I feel safe, humbled, and grateful. I am so grateful for the scriptures, for apostles and prophets, for good music, and for patterns that the Lord sets for us. There is so much that is distracting, and I am really good at getting distracted. I am grateful for repeated lessons of basic gospel principles that keep me focused on my purposes. I truly believe that the Lord can make my weaknesses strengths if I am humble and have faith in him (Ether 12:26.) I need the Lord every day and I am so grateful that he is willing to be by my side each day. I am grateful for the Atonement. Jesus suffered that my sins may be forgiven, that my weaknesses and my ignorance may be accounted for. The Atonement covers so much more than I ever realized. The Infinite Atonement is an eye opening book. I am indebted to our Savior. I cannot repay, but I can make sure that the suffering was not in vain. I can constantly strive for perfection, to be as the Savior is. I know it will take a life-time and beyond, but it's the commitment and pattern each day that gets me closer. I am grateful to the Lord today.
