No matter what.

In the last few weeks I've had multiple friends come to me with multiple problems. I love that they trust me and know that I won't judge, cause a lot of Mormons have this judging and gossiping problem. I've learned something incredible through all of this.

I thought I understood how love worked, ya know, as much as any 21 year old whose never been in love could have. I was completely wrong.

There is absolutely no way to comprehend the Savior's love for us, or the Fathers love for us. It is wonderful and good they are.

As my friends have been coming to me there have been times where I have thought "I would give anything to take away this pain. Anything at all." And it's true, I would give my life, I would take their trials on me if I could. But I can't. I love them so much, and all I can do is hold them. But I can't take there trials on myself.

And then it hit me.

That is exactly what the Savior did for us. He was the only one who could. And he loved us so much that he went to Gethsemane and atoned for us. He was the only one who could take all of our trials. Not just our sins, but our heartaches, our trials, our pain, our sorrows our everything. He took every last bit of it on himself and suffered beyond anything we can imagine. And because of that, we can become whole. Through every heartache, and every time we mess up; it isn't fire and brimstone and Damnation to Hell. It's "My child, I love you. No matter what mistakes you make. I love you. Through all the trials I am here waiting to help you and life you up. If you can turn your pain over to me, I am here. I love you no matter what."

I can't believe how incredible the goodness of our God is. How no matter who I am, what I've done. He loves me no matter what. I can not even imagine it. I have to step back and ask myself "Could I?" If there was someone who was cursing my name, who hurt someone I love, who was making terrible mistakes. Could I look at them and say "I love you. I am waiting to help you." I don't think I could with everybody, I am still that natural man.

But I know that there are many people I do know I could say that too. "You've been given this trial. But I still know you. And I love you no matter what."

I'm not perfect, no where near it. So I would just like to publicly proclaim how much I love my Lord and Savior. How grateful I am for every gift and trial they have given me. How when I start doubting anything, they are still there. When I can't do it anymore, they are ready to take me pains as soon as I give them over to them. I do not deserve the love they give me. I pray to learn to a love like that for everyone, not just my friends and family.

It is wonderful. And I love my Lord and Savior. And they love you too. If you listen very close, you will hear them tell you, and you feel everyday, anytime you need it. "I love you no matter what."
