"My Savior sees me as worth working for, shouldn't I strive to do the same?
My Savior made the choice to atone for me with the complete and perfect knowledge of every single defect I have... When I approach Him, He meets me where I am.
... these two concepts are critically important to me because they help me begin to grasp what unconditional love is all about.
...my job is to dust myself off when I stumble, reach out and take my Savior's hand, treat myself gently and continue to walk my path.
Just because my fellows are hurling angry, hostile words my way doesn't mean I'm exempt from my Savior's commandment to love others as myself.
... remember we do a lot better as disciples of our Savior when we focus a little more on our own salvation and a little less on everyone else's sins."
