Gethsemane

The Atonement is the most profound gospel subject to me. I am incredibly humbled and extremely grateful for what the Atonement covers. It has such a simple application, but such an abundant all-encompassing range. It sometimes makes my head hurt to think about. I think that I will never fully understand the vastness of The Atonement, but that is okay. What I do know is that I love my savior. I know that he knows exactly what I am going through at any point in my life. He knows my physical pains, he knows my emotions, he knows my temptations, he knows EVERYTHING. If he suffered for the sins of just one person, that would be amazing on its own. When you start to think about all of the people that The Atonement covers, it is truly mind blowing. When I read the verses of sacrament hymns, I tear up a little bit. I forget where I am, what is going on in my life, and my problems. I have a personal moment. It is like a huge amplification of that feeling when a stranger does something randomly super nice for you. It is so comforting. These hymns have gotten me though the hardest times of my life.

I am eternally grateful that Christ suffered for my sins in the garden of Gethsemane. Even though he had intense suffering, when I think about him in the garden that night, I want to smile. I know that it is because of The Atonement and this suffering that I will get to see him again. That makes me so happy.
