Im thankful for the Atonement

I have been deep in thought today, as I am everyday as I am a over-thinker/over-analyzer of life. And as I ponder what it is I want to blog about tonight I ask myself how it is I am to convey a thought without going into great detail of where that thought originated?
I have to say that my journey back to the church has not been an easy one, and I would never have been able to make it back if I had not been able to remind myself daily that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only thing in my life that has brought me happiness, peace and comfort. I tried so hard for so many years to find happiness in other things, but it never came. Drinking, tobacco products, light drugs on occasion and numbers of bad relationships led to a ever-so-evident decline mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.... to those who cared the most about me.
I have to wonder how our Savior must feel as He watches us struggle through life? I am sure it is so frustrating as He just wants to knock us up-side of the head and make us see what He sees (a gentle knock, or light shove on His behalf). I cannot imagine suffering for my sins alone and then watching me struggle as I did thinking that I was not worthy of His forgiveness... and its not just my sins He suffered for... He suffered for ALL of our sins, the believers and the non-believers. Some of us will never choose to partake of what was already suffered for us...the price was already paid, we just have to ask for His help and forgiveness. That is ALL he asks. And I am telling you that the weight that is lifted off of ones shoulders when that happens is undeniable.
Peace and Love!
