My faith is everything to me! Without my faith in Heavenly Father and the atonement of Christ, I would have nothing, and with that faith I know that I have everything. When I think of my faith, I often feel guilt, because I associate my faith with my actions. I would love to say that I was perfect. I sometimes makeup stories in my head of what life would be like if I was perfect. But I am not.
The question for me is how I keep my wrong choices from affecting my faith? The answer is that I cannot. My faith and my actions are completely connected in ever way. I have greater faith in my savior and his atonement when I am praying and serving others. My faith in the atonement of Christ is lessened when I act against the light of the gospel. And if pride is present after I sin this is true. But if I am humble after my actions, my faith can increase. It can grow and I can learn and grow.
I would love to think of myself as one counted with the meek that will inherit the earth. But I know that I am mortal and prideful.
I love my Heavenly Father! He has given me so much in my life, and I am indeed blessed. I pray that I can feel that love even when I turn from him and sin. I know that the atonement has the power to not only take my sins from me, but give me the strength that is so needed in my life.
