Hand in Hand
Like a child in the woods I lost my way,
Alone and afraid I stopped to pray.
"Father in Heaven," I cried in my need,
"Please guide me home, I'll go where you lead."
Like a light in the forest He sent down His Son,
My heart became warm, a new hope had begun.
"Take my hand and I'll lead you", I heard Him say,
"Stay by my side for I know the way."
Now a child in the woods all filled with delight,
The journey is joyous as I walk in His light.
No longer alone in a shadow filled land,
He leads me home as we walk hand in hand.
I don't have the words to truly express how grateful I am for the Atonement and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Because of Him, we all have the opportunity to one day return to the presence of our Heavenly Father. I am so thankful for the knowledge I have that He truly lives and his suffereing was truly a gift given to us both by Him and our Father above. Sometimes we often think of how hard it must have been for Him to suffer all that He did, and we forget how hard it must have been for our Heavenly Father; to watch as His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, fell on his face and bled from every pore in the Garden of Gethsemane. To watch as nails were driven into the hands and feet of His Son, making it possible for him to hang in agony for hours on a wooden cross. One of the apostle's in the talks I read, mentioned, "I wonder how many drops were shed for me." Does it make you wonder how many drops Christ shed for you? Either way, I know with all of my heart that His sacrifice was a gift given to us by our loving Father and brother. Not only that, this is the time of year to celebrate that He lives, and I have a firm testimony that as the poem says above, Jesus Christ is walking hand in hand with us every moment of every day on our journey to return to our Loving Heavenly Father. I love my Savior Jesus Christ and I know that He lives. I hope you have all had the chance to watch the new video, "Because He Lives," and I hope you all take a moment to think of all the things that He did, and continues to do for us every single day. I love you all and hope you have a wonderful Easter next week :) Felices Pascuas!
