I Know that My Redeemer Lives

Source



Easter.  My thoughts right now are very hard to put into words.  If I could I would take out my heart and put it in your body so you could feel the emotions I am feeling right now.  I literally ache with love for my savior Jesus Christ.  Life is hard, for everyone.  That is why Heavenly Father sent His son to give us the Atonement so life would not be as hard.  There have been so many times when I felt alone, deserted by my friends and family.  I feel broken and the tears just won’t stop.  Without fail I receive some type of peace.  Sometimes it comes in the form of emotional comfort and sometimes it is as if I am wrapped in a blanket of love.  Jesus Christ does that for me.  He makes those times when it seems I can’t go on bearable.  He has been with me through heartbreak so many times.  He knows how it feels to have the people or person you love reject the love you have for them.  He understands how I feel even when I fall in love with the wrong boy.  He knows the pain of watching my mother suffer with cancer.  He understood my loss of courage when I spent days in the hospital with my dad after his accident.  He will never desert me; especially through the trials of watching those I love face death.  He loves me.

Most importantly, He forgives me.  I am far from perfect.  I can be stupid.  I make decisions that are not in line with the plan of Heavenly Father.  I cause pain to others.  Jesus Christ has taken care of my imperfections.  He has made it so I can be forgiven for the mistakes I make every day.  He has given me a chance for Celestial eternal life.  Sometimes I don’t show Him that I want that.  Sometimes I forget my goal.  He does not give up on me.  He says “Melissa.  Someday you will be made perfect.  I know you can do it.  I love you.  Learn from this mistake.”  Sometimes I make the same mistake over and over and yet He does not give up on me.  He loves me.  He is my SAVIOR and REDEEMER and He LIVES.
