Today I am so grateful that my Father in Heaven loves me. He allows me the opportunity to learn by making my own choices, positive or negative. He is not thinking less of me or loving me any less. He is NOT thinking I'm dumb or "How many times does she have to make that same dumb mistake?" He is watching over me like a kind parent, advising me and trying to steer me away from trouble. Ultimately He lets me choose, the action and the consequence.
I was noticing myself in Zumba class today. I did much better following along when I watched the teacher the whole time but often I would notice myself looking away and trying to do it myself. When I would look back, I was sometimes off. I was trying to go from what I thought I remembered. Since I know that I often don't remember the moves very well, I am so thankful I have someone there to guide me and be my example. My teacher is constantly there, smiling and encouraging me smile emoticonMy Savior Jesus Christ is constantly there, smiling and encouraging me. He is the ultimate example to me in my life. He has been here and experienced the hardships of life. He was treated so badly when he had done nothing wrong or to maybe "deserve" it somehow, yet He still loves and keeps trying to help those that are willing. His arms are outstretched to lift you up, help you along, walk side by side with you, and even carry you if need be. Knowing He is there to help me carry my burdens, but ultimately beckoning me to allow Him to take them from me all together, comforts me. He Rejoices in my partaking of the Gift of the Atonement that only He could offer me. All He leads me to do is repent and try again. We were Never sent here to be perfect, simply to progress.
