For Me Alone

"What man of you having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them,
doth not leave the ninety and nine, and go into the wilderness
after that which is lost, until he find it?" (Luke 15:4 JST)

"The irony of the Atonement is that it is infinite and eternal,
yet it is applied individually, one person at a time." (M. Russell Ballard)

I really appreciate the video Lil Acorn posted. This Easter I've really been thinking about the ability God has to succor his children when they are in need. On Sunday a friend of mine sang the most amazing *song in church about His love for each of his children. I couldn't hold my emotions back and unfortunately I was singing in the choir. Well, I was sitting there crying while the rest of the choir was singing. And believe me people noticed! I was just so overwhelmed at His love for me. It was a very tender moment when I could thank Him in my heart for all the times I've felt peace after my moments of despair. He's never let me down; He's always comforted me, He's always helped me solve the problem, He's always led me through the hard times. I'm learning to trust in Him. When I don't, things start to fall apart, yet I know he'll be there to help me pick up the pieces and try again.

I'm so happy with my relationship with my Savior. It's my most treasured relationship. I may stray but I know He's there with steady arms waiting my return. Nothing means more to me than that knowledge.



*But if I alone had stumbled; if I alone had strayed
If I alone had wandered from the straight and narrow way
If I alone bore guilt for which my all could never atone
He would have come for me
For me alone

For love of all God's children Christ redeemed us from the fall
His mercy without measure is sufficient for us all

But if I alone had stumbled; if I alone had strayed
If I alone had wandered from the straight and narrow way
If I alone were foolish; if I alone were frail
If I alone had faltered when the power of hell assailed
If I alone bore guilt for which my all could never atone
He would have come for me
For me alone
