Day 38 - Easter Glory - April - 16th
It was another beautiful day, as I was able to attend our ward for Sacrament, Sunday School and Relief Society. This is the first time I have been able to attend all of these meetings since my transplant. I so enjoyed the talks given and lessons taught.
Since it is Easter Sunday, I thought it might be appropriate to share a little piece of what one sister shared in her talk today from Elder Bednar.
"The Savior has suffered not just for our iniquities but also for the inequality, the unfairness, the pain, the anguish, and the emotional distresses that so frequently beset us. There is no physical pain, no anguish of soul, no suffering of spirit, no infirmity or weakness that you or I ever experience during our mortal journey that the Savior did not experience first. You and I in a moment of weakness may cry out, “No one understands. No one knows.” No human being, perhaps, knows. But the Son of God perfectly knows and understands, for He felt and bore our burdens before we ever did. And because He paid the ultimate price and bore that burden, He has perfect empathy and can extend to us His arm of mercy in so many phases of our life. He can reach out, touch, succor—literally run to us—and strengthen us to be more than we could ever be and help us to do that which we could never do through relying upon only our own power." Elder David A. Bednar , 'The Atonement and the Journey of Mortality'
How deep these words struck my heart as I realized; even though I have felt my Savior's loving hands carry me through this journey, I haven't paid attention to all of the blessings Jesus Christ offers through the atonement. I couldn't be more grateful for the atonement, and the ever flowing fountain of His Love. Wishing you all a Beautiful Easter!
