Happy Easter!
I am grateful for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for his atonement, sacrifice, and ultimately his resurrection. I know that because He suffered, died, and was resurrected He can save me from my sins, sorrows, heartbreak, disappointment and grief. I know he mourns with me but that He also comforts me.
A couple nights ago I was feeling really sad, disappointed, frustrated, angry, and hopeless...when I get into these moods the only thing that I know I can do is pray and ask Heavenly Father to comfort me, to come to me, and to stay with me. Well, the spirit gave me the comfort that I needed. I felt peace, love, and a sense of calm assurance that He is aware of me. It enabled me to get through the rest of the day.
On this particular Easter Sunday I am grateful for the hope that the atonement and resurrection brings to my life. I have felt a little hopeless lately. And so as today is the day where we commemorate the hope of the resurrection, I declare this day a day where I am resurrecting hope in my own life. Christ conquered death and through Him I can do all things; for that I am grateful.
In the words of Elder Wirthlin, Sunday Will Come!
"Each of us will have our own Fridays—those days when the universe itself seems shattered and the shards of our world lie littered about us in pieces. We all will experience those broken times when it seems we can never be put together again. We will all have our Fridays. But I testify to you in the name of the One who conquered death—Sunday will come. In the darkness of our sorrow, Sunday will come.
No matter our desperation, no matter our grief, in this life or the next, Sunday will come."
I know this is true. So therefore, I am resurrecting hope. Sunday Will Come. All will be well.
I hope you know this too. If you don't, call me. We can chat about it. ;)
