Today marks my 28th anniversary of being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ. “Love" and "following the Savior" are two of the things that I got out of when two lovely sister missionaries Stacie & Susanna talked to me about the gospel of Jesus Christ & Our Heavenly Fathers plan.
One great example of the church that I have always noticed is the service that we render to our fellowman, and we do it all in the name of love. I feel that at times when I am feeling at my lowest I want to serve others more. I have always loved doing things for other people, and I truly feel that I am pretty devoted in doing so. I do it out of my heart, and without any obligation.
Jesus Christ is the perfect example of unconditional love, compassion, empathy, and service in doing good to all mankind, and knowing that gives me a huge desire to serve others until the very end.
Understanding the plan of salvation & the atonement is a vital part of my life. It humbles me to a level in which I didn't comprehend.
I know that Jesus Christ laid down His life for ours so that we can be here today to live, and learn. To have challenges so that we can grow from them. I know Heavenly Father hears our prayers because He definitely heard mine 28 years ago when I was searching for light in my life. Jesus suffered and died for my sins so that I could experience all the heartaches, challenges & trials that come my way. I have experienced them throughout my life as a child, a teenager, a young adult, a newlywed, and now as a wife and mother. I am grateful for the trials that I have gone through because in the end they’ve only made me stronger.
And with the new norm that has entered our lives because of this pandemic that we are currently enduring is the time to seriously rely on the faith we have in our Savior Jesus Christ. And when this is all over hope that we can see ourselves & others in a different light. 💫
