I hope you had a wonderful Easter! I know I did. Saturday began with a bright and sunny 70 degree morning. We helped an investigator paint her new apartment (that was fun!) and we made lovely Easter egg sugar cookies and delivered them to investigators and members. :) It has been wonderful-- all weekend we have been sharing our testimonies of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I'd like to share that with you.
I know that Jesus Christ is the Son of our loving Heavenly Father. It is His Atonement and Resurrection that gives us the opportunity to repent, to change, and become more like our Heavenly Father. Because of Him we can rise above our circumstances and become something more than we are. I know our Heavenly Father sees us as we can become, not as we were, not as we are now. He loves us and wants the best for us. He sent His Son because of this great love. I know that Heavenly Father gives us commandments for our protection, and that our Savior is always there to offer us strength as we strive to keep the commandments, and as we face the trials that will inevitably come to us on our journey here on earth. I know that Jesus suffered for our sins individually--and that's what makes it possible for Him to understand our trials and struggles personally, completely. He can empathize with us perfectly, because He knows us perfectly. I know that 3 days after His crucifixion, He rose again. He lives! And He loves you. I share this with you in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
