Gramps, I do believe in the Godhead, the gospel, the atonement, his love and many other things, but I still CAN’T get it if I don’t feel special or unique about myself as to loving and accepting myself. I mean I don’t see the point to it. A friend...

Gramps, How can one ever know if they have been truly forgiven by God? I can’t seem to forgive myself. My spouse won’t write a letter for me to go to the Temple, I have asked. He supports me in serving my Father in Heaven, but said he is not ready for this...
