Thoughts

I thought about last summer a lot today while solving a Rubik's cube. And I've noticed I'm not the same person I was back then. I am different. I've gone through a lot of things that have challenged my faith and my beliefs. And I'm glad to say I'm still here. Still standing.

I always thought I knew what the gospel was about but I really didn't. I have seen how being away from the Lord can destroy people without them even realizing it until they're far gone. I've seen the suffering transgresion produces on people who care about the transgressor. I've seen how friends actually are an influence to people, either good or bad. I've seen regret. And I've witnessed how the Lord moves the pieces to bring people back.

The Lord has an immense faith in people that can only be roughly compared to those of our parents. He forgives, he truly does and he lets people try again. I can hardly imagine myself doing that but he does. Maybe when I have my own kids I will truly understand how the Lord can love his children so much that is willing to give everybody more chances than they probably deserve.
