I Know that My Redeemer Lives

To start off this post I would like to share something that I read on a friend's facebook status :

"The greatest man in history had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet he conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today!"

What an amazing quote. I couldn't have possibly said it better myself. I feel like sometimes when life gets so busy, we...or I should say I...tend to let a very important part of my life get put on the back burner. I am so grateful for what our Savior did for us. I need to show my love to Him better. I was thinking during church today that I need to try to be less selfish. I need to remember others and be more willing to serve without having recognition for it. But to just know and understand that when I am serving others-I am also serving God. And it is much more important for Heavenly Father to know what I am doing to help others, than it is for other people to know.

Being Easter, I have been thinking a lot about the Atonement, and I feel as if I need to apply it more in my life. It is such a miracle and blessing for us to have in our lives. If you follow my blog regularly, you may remember what my new year's resolution is; in a nutshell to learn to forgive others. I feel like I am getting closer to accomplishing that. But part of forgiving is applying the atonement. I need to humble myself and let Heavenly Father give me the strength.

I am so grateful for what Christ did for me, and for you, and for every Child of God on this earth. I know that because of it, families can be together forever. I know that the Savior still lives today and if we let Him in, he can be with us at all times. He wants us to come to Him, not just in times of need, but at all times. He loves us. I am grateful to know that I am a Daughter of God. Sometimes in difficult times that isn't easy to remember, but I know it is true. I remember when I was little, my Dad would sing "I Am A Child Of God" with me every night before bed. I believe that taught me so much, taught me to know from the time I was a little girl that I am a daughter of God and that we are all children of Heavenly Father.

I love this song and I think it is fitting for Easter. I thought I should share.
