I feel particularly blessed when I listen to the hymns in church and sing along. We sung the hymn, "There is a Green Hill Far Away" in sacrament last week. Tears came to my eyes because I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jesus atoned for my sins and He is the only one that could do that. He loves us all so much that He sent a comforter, the Holy Ghost, a member of the Godhead, to comfort us when we are feeling low or we just need some love.
Even during rough trials, I feel the Savior in my life. I could get mad. I could get frustrated. But it wouldn't do any good. He loves me. I feel His love every day in my life. It seems silly to get mad at God when we agreed to be tested. We knew there would be trials; but we wanted to be tested so we could have the chance to live with God again someday and one day become as He is, creators of our own world.
I am grateful for friends. The friends I have in my life know exactly what to say to comfort me when I am feeling low. I truly believe that some of the friends I have right now are answers to my prayers. Because the Lord knows me. He knows all of us. The Savior, Jesus Christ, is my Elder brother who cares for me. I want to do everything I can to make it back to Him someday.
Truly I am blessed indeed.
What are you grateful for right now?
