When people said "change through the Atonement" I was confused. How can you change through the act of someone else? The Atonement is much more than an act, the Atonement is everything. It's how we can let go of our trials, guilt, troubles, inperfections, everything. Believing in the Atonement is believing in life after death. The Atonement gives us the ability for our sins to be forgiven. When we repent, it should bring about a change in our hearts, and a willingness to become better people. The first step in becoming like Christ is our willingness to accept that we are nothing compared to the glory we can become. Not saying that we are nothing, and unimportant or insignificant, but that compared to the glory Christ there's a lot to catch up on!
Be willing.
Be willing to change. To become something more. To be willing to pray to our father in heaven to help us.
He is there. He is ready. He just wants us to come to him, so he can make us perfect in him.
