One of the aims of a BYU education is Spiritually Strengthening.I really like BYU.It is full of the spirit.I most enjoy the fact that most lessons start with either a prayer or a song.These always make me feel better especially when i am having a hard day.It feels like the song speak to me and encourage me to go on. A sweet, heartfelt prayer from a classmate always spiritually uplifts me.
Recently in class, Sister Steadman shared a thought with us in class that really got me thinking.She was recently blessed with a grandchild and loves her so much.Her grandchild is still in the hospital and is receiving multilpe injections and operations on her small tiny body because she was born prematurely.Sister Steadman hurts when the baby hurts.She compared the love she feels for her grandchild with the love that Heavenly Father feels for us.
Surely we are all his children and when we hurt,he hurts.It just made me grateful and realize that He truly is mindful of us and our needs.She could not imagine any one else loving and caring for her grandchild more than she does.Think about the person you love the most,how you hurt when they hurt and how you want the best for them and compare it with the Savior's love for you.Isn't it amazing?
Imagine the love and care our Savior has for us.I am truly grateful to be His child.I know that He is mindful of me, he knows my pain.He hurts when i hurt.He wants the best for me.No,I am not alone, he is always by my side.What a great strengthening of my testimony this was.I am grateful that not only am i receiving circular learning here, but i am growing spiritually too.
I always love the things you post :)
