How would it be? 2 Nephi 22

Book of Mormon: 2 Nephi 22

 And in that day thou shalt say: O Lord, I will praise thee; though thou wast angry with me thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.
 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also has become my salvation.
 Therefore, with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
 And in that day shall ye say: Praise the Lord, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.
 Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things; this is known in all the earth.
 Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion; for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.
 
     In 2 Nephi 22 it talks about how everyone will be in the Millennium...Everyone.  Everyone will be a Christian. Everyone will call upon His name.  Everyone will love Him.  
     That is how I feel now.  Today I was sitting in Church feeling like I was about to boil over.  I was feeling angry at someone who I love very much, and then the sacrament began and I started to think about the Savior and how He died for me and what He had to go through for me.  I began to pray letting the Lord know I felt horrible inside and horrible for raising my voice at this loved one.
     After I finished praying, peace filled me and I felt Love enter the chambers of my heart.  I saw the Savior with open arms and I felt like my sins had been washed away, but I also felt I should go and sin no more.
     I was so humbled by these feelings of peace and love.  I felt so undeserving of them.  I didn't understand why the Lord cared for me so much, but I was glad He did.  So glad.  I praise Him today.  I love Him.  I want to be a better person so I can repay Him, but of course I will never be able to pay in full.  God is good. 
 
Love,
