The Savior

Okay, so today's is an obvious one. Today, I am grateful for the Savior. He is everything to me. He has given me everything through His atonement. He sacrificed everything, including His will and life, for us, His brothers and sisters. He never faltered. He asked for help and strength, but He did not give up. He knew what would become of us if He didn't finish His mission. He loved all of us that much to not give up. What a blessing the atonement and the resurrection is for all of us?! I am pretty sure we will never be able to fully comprehend the impact of what the Savior did for us in this life. He had true, pure love for each and everyone of us. Through the hard times I have had through my life, I have learned of His love for me and what He wants from me and that I am stronger than I think I am. When others serve me and when I serve them, I feel as though I have a glimpse of who the Savior is. Service, or Charity, truly is the pure love of Christ. What a blessing it has been to grow up in a church that portrays Jesus as such a loving and forgiving God. He wants us to succeed, that is why he atoned for our mistakes. Another blessing is that we focus on the risen Savior, not the dead one. He lives! What a glorious and happy knowledge we have! And because He is not dead, He continues in His work today. He has not stopped and wont until He has done everything He can to bring as many of His brothers and sisters home as He can. I know the Savior loves each of us so much. I know he knows our sorrows and our joys. He rejoices with us in our accomplishments and suffers with us during the tough times. How wonderful it is to have someone right by our side, cheering us on. He understands us so well and loves us more than we know. I can't think of a better person than my Savior to be my advocate and mediator at the judgment seat of God. He made it possible for me to be with husband and family forever. I will never be able to repay my Redeemer. All He asks of me is my best. I think I can do that for the person that did far more than I can do for myself. I am grateful for the Savior.
