CTR - do it for yourself

 Ezekiel 18:31-32

31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

 32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

 God doesn't set us up for failure. He isn't excited to see us trip up or get hurt. We are allowed to have trials, and we are allowed to make choices. It's up to us. God gives us so many opportunities to be happy, to be close to Him, and to live our lives in a higher way. Don't take these chances for society, or for your family, or for your church group, or even for God - take these opportunities for your OWN HAPPINESS. I have a strong testimony that there is joy, comfort, solace, and contentment in the way of the Lord. I know that Jesus Christ died for us, and we can use his sacrifice to ease our burdens and clean away our sins, no matter how badly we may feel that we have failed, regardless of how far we have fallen.
I love you, and hope you find a way to use the Atonement in your life, so you can be happy.
In Jesus Christ, Amen.
