I Know That My Redeemer Lives

Please take a minute to watch this video and listen to the song while pondering about your feelings towards our Savior.  Christ lived and still lives today.  I know that is true with all my soul.   I have felt His redeeming power and there is nothing that can compare to it, He can give us the peace and joy that we long for.   I love Him so much and I am grateful for His love.  Feel free to share your comments about how you feel about Jesus Christ and what He did for you.

And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives!
 For we saw him, even on the right hand of God; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the Father—
 That by him, and through him, and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God.  (Doctrine and Covenants 76:22-24)

Who Am I?

There came a time last year when I was in a new place, with new people and an all new life.  For the first time I did not have the comfort of returning to my own home and my friends and family were thousands of miles away.  It was at this point in my life that I found out who I really am. 

One day after feeling so overwhelmed and alone I did the one thing that I knew would help.  I got on my knees and prayed to my Father in Heaven. I poured my heart out to Him, as I did so He filled me with joy beyond description and I felt His love as never before.  Not too often in my life do I receive an answer to a prayer in an instant but without delay at that very moment of need my Father comforted me and gave me an understanding of who I am.  I realized that day, deeper than ever, that I was truly a child of God.  I discovered my true relationship with Him and the potential I have as one of His sons.  Since that day I have never doubted what I can do, I have never doubted His love and I have never felt alone.  Through that experience I gained a greater understanding of the scripture found in Doctrine and Covenants 18:10 "the worth of souls is great in the sight of God."  You and I alike are children of God, it does not matter what the world thinks because they do not know your heart.  Our Heavenly Father does and as we go to Him in prayer He will show us exactly how He feels about us.  I testify of our divine nature as a child of God and our worth is beyond that of the world. Below is a video of an Apostle of the Lord teaching us through the story of the ugly duckling that we have unmeasurable worth.
