That is an astonishing concept. Not only did He make infinite payment for all the wrongs and injustices on earth, but He also gained infinite empathy for each of us. Somehow, in a way that is unfathomable to us, He knows exactly what [we have] endured. He knows what it is like to suffer with terminal cancer. He knows the loneliness of depression. He understands the feelings utter hopelessness that can come with some mental illnesses. There is no burden, no sorrow, no suffering that He doesn't fully understand. And because of that, there is nothing we can take to Him that brings a response of, "I'm sorry. I don't understand." ("Come Unto Me," Brigham Young University-Idaho Devotional, September 23, 2008)
-We need to pray to better understand the Atonement and to better understand how Christ can help each of us throughout our lives because of the Atonement. He did it for me, He did it for you and He would do it again if need be.
-Do I believe in the Atonement and in the Gospel of Jesus Christ? How do I show God I do? How do I improve my life daily because I do? What can I do today to improve?
We need to get on and stay on the path of righteousness and bring others around us to it by living like the Savior would.
Blessing- The Atonement that Christ selflessly performed for me allows me to be clean from all sins, but the most amazing thing it allowed Him the power to know what I am going through and to know how to succor me.
