Liesel, 9/23/2021 God is Good even when life isn't good

 Hey there! Come here often...? No oh well stick around I'd like to chat for a second if you don't mind. No please dont go! 

Oh good you stayed, I thought that you were a traitor... 

Well now that youre here how are you queen or king (your prefrence of title, either way sit down and grab your crown cause youre going to feel like one after this email)

Okay did you grab your crown?....no.... Ill wait....

okay now I can start *clears throat and stands and soap box*

This gospel is sooooooooo amazing and GOD IS SO GOOD!!

Gospel doctrinal thought

Alma 42:15

15 And now, the plan of mercy could not be brought about except an atonement should be made; therefore God himself atoneth for the sins of the world, to bring about the plan of mercy, to appease the demands of justice, that God might be a perfect, just God, and a merciful God also. 

What is the atonement and why do I talk about it soooo much in my three emails that I write every six weeks? (hey I am getting better soooo dont judge) 

But really what is the atonement and why is it so important to the gospel. Well in other terms its the ultimate sacrifice of our lord and Savior Jesus the Christ. So a pretty hefty subject to talk about and thats why whenever you study it you learn more of the bounteous love and mercy and grace of the Messiah. 

Now God is a just God and so thats why we have laws cause if we didnt have laws then man would just sin and do what they want. 

20 And also, if there was no law given against sin men would not be afraid to sin.

So if that was a question that you had well there is your answer to that question. But another crucial detail that a lot of people fail to read in the fine print is that God is a merciful God and grants us Grace through the Atonement of Jesus Christ that he made and did for us. 

But what is Grace? "Divine means of help or strength, given through the bouteous mercy and love of Jesus Christ". (bible dictionary) But...... that doesnt mean we just get off the hook scott free because the "grace of God got my back" 

2 Nephi 25:23

23 For we labor diligently to write, to persuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do

It is after all we can do is when Grace kicks in. He knows when you are trying your hardest and that you want to be your best! Thats when the grace hits you like a dumptruck and love comes flowing.

Okay so i know that was a lot to take in but to bring the intensity down and talk real it just means that your effort is enough and Christ ha your back. 

I could testify of the Love Of God all day because I know that we have a loving heavenly father AND Mother who love us so much that words cant describe. 

The work continues and we are always looking for more and I urge you to look for more and want more for yourself and for your family. Look inside and make the necessary change for the Grace of Christ kick in and pick up the slack. 

But I will end with the fact that YOU ARE ENOUGH NOW. As of this moment you are enough and just keep going. 

I know that was probs a lot so adjust your crown and go kill it today, and keep Christ at the center of your life and everything else will fall into place. 

In the name of our Savior Jesus Christ my friend and brother, amen
