My Savior

A few thoughts about my beautiful Savior:

Jesus was a young man who loved life.

He loved people and nature and work and children.

He took great joy in the scriptures 

and His relationship with His Father in Heaven.

He was a man "acquainted with grief" but also acquainted with happiness.

He loved the repentant, the humble and the meek

and found great satisfaction in seeing others turn their lives around

and become better than they were.

He had everything to live for.

Yet he chose to die

so that the rest of us had the chance

to repent and change and become more like Him

and ultimately to live again in happiness

when this life is over.

I love Him and feel such gratitude for His sacrifice.
And so,
I will repent and change and try each day
to become a little more like Him.
