In light of recent happenings, I have really felt a draw to the Gospel. I feel like Heavenly Father is slowly pushing me to learn and to grow. He is so patient with me because everyone in my immediate family knows that procrastination is a strength of mine. If there is a meme or gif about being a sloth, it's probably been sent my way by a loved one. Anywho...
I was reading my Book of Mormon today and I came across some passages in Mosiah that describe what Christ went through as he atoned for all of us. It talks about the pain and suffering he felt. What I found that touched my heart the most was that he did not complain about it. It made him happy to feel the worst someone will ever feel so that we can all live with Heavenly Father. I'm not sure happy is the correct word to describe what he was feeling. But! He performed the ultimate act of love for everyone. He did so willingly.
My son sat next to me on the couch and I thought back to when he was sick a few weeks ago. All I remember feeling is helpless. I wanted SO BADLY to take his pain and discomfort away from him. I would have willingly taken it upon myself. As I reflected on this, I realized a small fraction of the love the Savior has for all of us.
I am filled with the Spirit of God and I am thankful for the love of a Heavenly Brother.
God knows just the things I need to see glimpses of to keep me going. I hope and pray that these little nuggets of wisdom keep on coming. Slow and steady. Line upon line.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the true church on this earth. I know that I can live with my Heavenly Father again because of the atonement of Jesus Christ for all mankind.
I am very interested to know if you've recently been given any nuggets of truth in your life! Please share them with me. God is good.
