Our Savior's Love

I wish I could fully express my love for my savior, Jesus Christ.  I wish I could list all the things in my life that he has done for me, but I haven't even counted all the breaths I've taken in these past 22 years, so the list would be nowhere near exhaustive, and would probably exceed Google's bandwidth should I post it in a blog.  He directs my life in ways that I don't understand, but recognize after that he really did know what was best for me.  He is interested in my pursuits and He strengthens and supports me in my endeavors.

I cannot explain my love for Him because I cannot explain His love for us.  He condescended from divinity to infancy.  He withstood harsh criticism and brutal rejection.  He walked the path that each of us should, so we would know exactly what to do.  He atoned for us.  He died for us; and he was resurrected for us.  His love did not, and never will stop.  His arm will always be stretched out in welcome to those who will repent.  If you will have Him, He will have you.  And if you are His, everything is yours.

Because of him I have a purpose in life.
Because of him I can be forgiven.
Because of him I can learn pure truth.
Because of him I don't need to walk in darkness.
Because of him I can better serve others.
Because of him I have overcome "that which easily doth beset [me]".(Alma 7:11-13)
Because of him I have grown.
Because of him I have changed.
Because of him I have joy.
Because of him I have peace.

I am who I am because of him.
