Pain

Granddaughter Megan 2

     Have you ever felt horrific pain?  I have. Cancer to car accidents, one time my appendices exploded for almost 3 days before it was diagnosed.  I know people who have suffered much more than I, and much longer than I, yet as terrible as pain is, there are pains from other sources that are worse.  And that is spiritual pain. It can fester and grow much worse than physical woes.


     Easter, having just passed, I was again reminded of the pain my Savior suffered for me.  I still cannot imagine what he went through, but I know he did. Out of love for His Father and love for me, my Savior allowed Himself to suffer beyond the capacity of mortal man.  Even as God, his suffering caused him to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, why? It all boils down to His love for me and you.  All that is required on my part is that I repent and obey His commandments.  After all, this is His earth, His air I borrow from moment to moment to sustain life.  His water and food that is provided to keep me going.   


     My Savior broke the bands of death, and because of that event,  I know that I will too, and my daughter and two sons, father and two brothers who have left this earth are not in the cold grave but live.  


     This is my testimony and I know it to be true.   Justice has been met by the atonement of Jesus Christ and I will always be in debt to Him for his Mercy extended to me.
