The Atonement Heals Our Wounds

“The Atonement not only pays for our sins, it heals our wounds—the self-inflicted ones and those inflicted from sources beyond our control. . . It is the ultimate source of our forgiveness, our perfection, and our peace of mind.”
(Bruce C. Hafen, The Broken Heart, Deseret Book, 1989, p. 29.)
 
Elder Hafen’s words: “It is natural to assume that when we don't appear to be doing ‘excellently’ the perfection process is not working. But the exact opposite may be true. Our moments of greatest stress and difficulty are often the times when the refiner's fire is doing its most purifying work.
(Broken Heart, 97)
