This morning's entry from my personal journal...

"This morning, my mind and heart were heavily weighed down, with the remorseful realization and reality of my myriad personal inadequacies and failures.

Nevertheless, prayerful pondering of the Scriptures, about the supernal blessing of the infinite Atonement of Jesus Christ, not only for all mankind but also for me, lifted up my heart and renewed my hope.

He knows me personally.

He loves me, despite all of my sins and imperfections.

His hand always is stretched out to lift me up, no matter how many times I stumble and fall.

Truly, Jesus Christ is the author and finisher of my faith."
