The Cleansing Comfort of His Atonement

 

The Savior of All, a Gospel for All

At times, you will face discouragement and disappointment. Your heart may break for yourself or someone you love. You may be burdened by the sins of others. The mistakes you’ve made—maybe serious ones—may cause you to fear that peace and happiness have left you forever. At such times, remember that the Savior not only lifts the burden of sin but also “suffer[ed] pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind” (Alma 7:11), including yours! Because of what He went through for you, He knows personally how to help you as you accept His life-changing invitation: “Come unto me.”
