Because of Him

Often, when someone is talking about a not-so-active church goer, they refer to that person as going "on Easter and Christmas." 

Those holidays are special. They both celebrate something pretty dang important.



Jesus Christ. Our Savior, Redeemer, and brother. He lived for us, died for us, and lives again. Because of that feat, we all get to live again and have to opportunity to return to the presence of our Heavenly Father.




I am so grateful for my Savior. I know this sounds cliche, and maybe it is, but it's still  TRUE.

Because of him, I get to live with my family forever, continue in eternal progression, find joy during hardships, forgive, be forgiven, be cleaner, be stronger, be better, and become my fullest self.



I rely on him for so much. Some say religion is a crutch for weak people. I say: we're ALL weak. We all need someone to lean on. Those who have a religion are the people who've figured that out.

I'm so happy to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I know that the gospel is on the earth in its fullness and it can help anyone. No matter what your problem, trial, weakness, pain, or tribulation, Christ's Atonement covered it. We don't have to pay for something that's already been paid for. Don't carry stones of guilt, sadness, or anger on your back. Take upon the yoke of Christ for "[His] yoke is easy, and [his] burden is light." That's the only way life can feel easy; if you get your support from the Son.

I love my Savior. I can never say it enough times or in strong enough language. He gave up everything for me and I hope I never take it for granted. Please remember what's most important and keep that in the forefront of your desires.

Happy Easter, everyone.
