We all have had experiences; the good, the bad, and the ugly. Why is that? Is that really part of Gods plan for us to face the bad and the uglies? Well, If we turn back to Adam & Eve, they made a mistake, they fell. What for? God gave them an amazing gift, its called Agency, or Freedom to choice good or bad. And so with them having that agency. We all have that agency too. God wants us to be happy but sorry to say, sometimes we choose to do wrong or bad things in this life. In other words, we sin. So sinning brings sorrow into our lives. We all have faced that. Its a fact of life. If we did not experience the good and bad. This life would be boring. We would not grow. And that is why we are here on this earth. To learn and to grow from the good things and the bad things we face in life. Those things that we face in life prepare us to be like God.
I have often asked myself, why am I here? There is a great scripture in the Book of Mormon that tells us why we are here. It is found in Alma 34:32, For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors.
That is why we are truly here, we are to prepare to meet Him, by learning, growing and striving to live as He is. And of course to perform our labors, to do work. As it states in the Bible we are going to one day be judged according to our works. So we go through this life, always thinking about that end result, Returning to our Heavenly Father. But darn it we keep making mistakes, WHY? How am going to return to my Heavenly Father if I continue to make mistakes.
Well let me tell you, we all have an older brother, His name is Jesus Christ. Oh, how greatful I am for Him. He came into the world out of Love for all of us. To pay the ultimate price, And die for all of us. He took upon himself everything that we have, are and will ever go through. That means the pains, sicknesses, afflictions, temptations, and sins. Everything, its truly amazing to know that he did that, Why? cause he loved us.
God new that we would not be able to return to be with him, having agency to choose good or bad. He knew that we would all fall in a sense and make mistakes. So he sent his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. To fulfill the ultimate Sacrifice, The Atonement so we could indeed return to be with him someday.
We always have to remember our Savior Jesus Christ's Atonement, as we go through this life. As we accept his sacrifice into our lives, and repent of all our sins then we can indeed one day return to our Heavenly Father. How greatful I am again for My Savior Jesus Christ, our Heavenly Father, for giving us this chance to come to this earth life, to learn and grow, and so we can become like Him. I feel His loving arms around me every single day, showing me my path which way I should go. I know that we all can one day return to be with Him, and it all begins in this life as the ultimate test.
Because God cares about us, we don’t need to wander through life, wondering what our purpose is.
