Do you realize how marvelous it is that you can call upon the Atonement? The Lord effected the Atonement for our sakes. And there isn’t anything that you can’t repent from and that you can’t be rescued from if you will repent and be determined to make the decision.

There are spiritual and physical laws to obey if we are to be happy.

Like most things of great worth, knowledge which is of eternal value comes only through personal prayer and pondering. These, joined with fasting and scripture study, will invite impressions and revelations and the whisperings of the Holy Spirit. This provides us with instruction from on high as we learn precept upon precept.

We are not free to break our covenants and escape the consequences.

If our view is limited to mortal life, some things become unbearable because they seem so unfair and so permanent.

No pain will last forever. It is not easy, but life was never meant to be either easy or fair. Repentance and the lasting hope that forgiveness brings will always be worth the effort.

Happiness will depend on what each of us does with what each has, what we learn from what we do, and what we do thereafter.
