Lifting Burdens

Just as the video shows we can and are vunerable to satan and his power. Satan knows our weaknesses and and will use those against us. Thankfully we have a Savior who atonened for our sins and knows how to strenghten us.
  27And if men come unto me I will show unto them their aweakness. I bgive unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my cgrace is sufficient for all men that dhumble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make eweak things become strong unto them.
  First we must recognize that without Jesus Christ we are nothing and we need his support to overcome the evil in our lives. There have been many times in my life where i thought i was strong enough to overcome the temptations, and addictions of satan. We cannot let pride guide our lives. The Savior died for us and he knows what we can and cannot do ( http://lds.org/scriptures/bofm/alma/7.11-12?lang=eng#10). If you have faith in Jesus Christ and trust in him then he will guide your life for the better. I know this to be true and evey consequense good or bad was for my benefit. The Atonement was for every one of us and we are never forgotten.

The Saviors Love For ALL Of Us

I myself cannot express my feeling towards Jesus Christ for what he has done for me, what he continues to do, what he will do for me, and each one of Heavenly Fathers children. What a wonderful time we have to remember the our Savior and his atonement and that he does indeed live. He knows our pains, our trials, our weaknesses and he has felt them all, so that we may be forgiven of anything if we have faith in him repent, and forsake our sins.
11And he shall go forth, suffering pains and aafflictions and btemptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will ctake upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.
12And he will take upon him adeath, that he may bloose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to csuccor his people according to their infirmities.
14Now I say unto you that ye must arepent, and be born again; for the Spirit saith if ye are not born again ye cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven; therefore come and be baptized unto repentance, that ye may be washed from your sins, that ye may have faith on the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sins of the world, who is mighty to save and to cleanse from all unrighteousness.
Elder Bruce C. Haffen says: "The Atonement not only pays for our sins, it heals our wonds, the self inflicted ones and those beyond our control". We must strive to remember our Savior not only this easter sunday but always in our hearts. I know if you do so that he will guide you and help you along the way, back to the Heavenly Father who loves you perfectly.
