Faith In The Atonement Of Jesus Christ

You Don't Need To Compromise Your Standards To Be Accepted By Good Friends. The More Obedient You Arethe More The Lord Can Help You Overcome Temptation. You Can Also Help Others Because They Will Feel Your Strength. Let Them Know About Your Standards By Consistently Living Themno One Intends To Make Serious Mistakes. They Come When You Compromise Your Standards To Be More Accepted By Others. You Be The Strong One. You Be The Leader. Choose Good Friends And Resist Peer Pressure Together.

Seek Out Your Bishop. He Will Show You How To Repent And Will Help You Do It.

Your Faith In Jesus Christ Gives Life Enduring Meaning. Remember You Are On A Journey To Exaltation. Sometimes You Have Experiences That Yield More Happiness Than Others, But It All Has Purpose With The Lord.

Attempt To Be Creative For The Joy It Brings… Select Something Like Music, Dance, Sculpture, Or Poetry. Being Creative Will Help You Enjoy Life. It Engenders A Spirit Of Gratitude. It Develops Latent Talent, Sharpens Your Capacity To Reason, To Act, And To Find Purpose In Life. It Dispels Loneliness And Heartache. It Gives A Renewal, A Spark Of Enthusiasm, And Zest For Life.

I Know That Every Difficulty We Face In Life, Even Those That Come From Our Own Negligence Or Even Transgression, Can Be Turned By The Lord Into Growth Experiences, A Virtual Ladder Upward. I Certainly Do Not Recommend Transgression As A Path To Growth. It Is Painful, Difficult, And So Totally Unnecessary. It Is Far Wiser And So Much Easier To Move Forward In Righteousness. But Through Proper Repentance, Faith In The Lord Jesus Christ, And Obedience To His Commandments, Even The Disappointment That Comes From Transgression Can Be Converted Into A Return To Happiness.
