Today as i read from the Book of Mormon I read from 2 Nephi 2: 6 which reads; Wherefore, redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah; for he is full of grace and truth,
as I read this the word GRACE stood out to me. What is GRACE, when referring to heavenly father. It means the divine help or strength, given through the bounteous mercies of the Jesus Christ.
Through him we can give our all and then at the end when we have done all that we can with the faith we have, he will make up the difference. He will help us to stand before out Heavenly Father, and tell him we have tried our best and done all that we can to do the things he asked of us, and Jesus Christ will help us make up the difference.
As I thought about that I think about the things I do everyday. I get up and work, from 6:30 in the morning until 10:30 at night, and even when I am super busy there is still so much more to do! I have never been so tired as I have been on my mission. And yet every night I go to bed knowing there are so many things that I could continue to do, and things that I could continue to improve upon. Like simplification in words, better explanations, talking louder.
But i know that at the end of the day when all is said and done I will go to bed happy knowing that i can improve upon today by using tomorrow better! If everything where perfect I know that I wouldn't turn to my Heavenly Father, or Savior for any help. Because it wouldn't be needed. But because of my imperfections I know that he is aware of me and wants to help me improve everyday. I will never be perfect, and we all will make mistakes in this life, but when when we are giving it our all we can have a firm knowledge that when we stand before our Heavenly Father we can know that we have done all that we can, and that our Elder Brother and Savior Jesus Christ will step in and help us with the rest that we weren't quite able to do.
