Mosiah 1-6

3: 7-11

7 And lo, he shall suffer temptations, and pain of body, hunger, thirst, and fatigue, even more than man can suffer, except it be unto death; for behold, blood cometh from every pore, so great shall be his anguish for the wickedness and the abominations of his people.

8 And he shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of heaven and earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning; and his mother shall be called Mary.

9 And lo, he cometh unto his own, that salvation might come unto the children of men even through faith on his name; and even after all this they shall consider him a man. and say that he hath a devil, and shall scourge him, and shall crucify him.

10 And he shall rise the third day from the dead; and behold, he standeth to judge the world; and behold, all these things are done that a righteous judgment might come upon the children of men.

11 For behold, and also his blood atoneth for the sins of those who have fallen by the transgression of Adam, who have died not knowing the will of God concerning them, or who have ignorantly sinned.

Nothing is greater than this sacrifice and blessing we have been given. Christ went through unimaginable pain and suffering in order to bring each of us home. To bring me home.

There is no way we can repay him. The joy he has enabled us to have in this life and life hereafter is incredible.

As long as I can continue to keep the commandments and strengthen my testimony, I will be able to live with my family forever. I could not be more excited for anything.

Really though, it is hard to even write about my love for the Savior and all he has done for each of us. I could never be grateful enough for the things he has done for me to return home again, along with the strength he has given me each day.

One of my favorite poems talks about a man who is walking on the beach with the Savior. When the man is in heaven and looking back down at his life, he finds there were times that there were no longer two sets of footprints in the sand but just one. Doubting the Savior, he asked why he had abandoned him at his darkest moments. The Savior replies and explaining that at those times he had not abandoned him but rather had been carrying him. This story to me is such an accurate portrayal of the pure, undying love that Savior has for each of us.

There is nothing in this world that feels so good as the joy you receive when you feel even a portion of the love Christ has for you. For me personally. Nothing can compare. I hope to be able to carry a little bit of that charitable love in my heart so I can share it with those I come in contact.

I know that not everyone believes in Christ here on earth but I hope that I can make those around me feel his love through me at some time or another. Nothing would make me more happy.

There is nothing that can
