Because of Him

This is the greatest video ever!!! What has changed in YOUR life because of Jesus Christ?

As we celebrate Easter, I hope we remember all the things Jesus Christ has done for us.

Don't forget to share on social media with the #becauseofhim!!!

This song is just amazing. I'm gonna share my favorite lines:

He's the one who healed the leper, and who brought the dead to life,

He's the one who fed the hungry, and gave the blind their site.

He's the one who walked on water, and who brought them safe to shore,

And whenever you may need him, he's the one you're looking for. 

So let him in: and he will take away the pain, 

Through his love, you'll never be the same,

Come unto Christ, come unto him. 

And by his grace be made holy again. 

He's calling your name, he's waiting for you:

With arms open wide...come unto Christ. 

It seriously is an amazing video and song. Please don't let the words fool you: THIS WILL TOUCH YOUR HEART. 

And even though this post is getting kinda long, I would like to bear my testimony of Jesus Christ, my Savior. 

I love Jesus Christ. He is my best friend. If you ever feel hopeless, he can heal you. If you ever feel alone, he will stand by you and comfort you. If you are ever doubting you left worth, he will open your eyes to the value of your life. He performed miracles in his life, and can do it for you right now. Jesus Christ died for you and for me. He knows every pain and sorrow, he has felt it. Your Savior willingly suffered the weight of your sins so that you could become clean. He makes it possible for us to have eternal life. 

Because of Him, I can be forgiven, and I can forgive.

Because of Him, we will be reunited with our families. 

Because of Him, we can have hope. There is always sunshine after the rain. 

Because of him, I can be a better person. 

Because of Him, I don't need to be afraid. 

because of him, I can be happy. Because of Him, well, all that I have become and will become is because of him. 

I love my Savior.

Come Unto Christ 2014

Come Unto Christ is the youth theme for 2014! I love it!

We've had some great themes the past couple years. Keep arising and shining and standing and be not moved! But I think this years is amazing! Truly an inspired theme!

Moroni 10:32 says:

32 Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God. (Moroni 10:32)

I have personally felt the effects of coming to Christ. Truly, after being cleansed and forgiven and made perfect through Christ, there is no way I can now deny my testimony. I know that God lives and loves us, for he sent his son. I know for a fact that God is real and is watching over us, for he has changed things in my life I could not have changed by myself. Attitudes have been improved, thoughts have been purified, despair has been vanquished, and hope has replaced all the darkness of the world. There is no earthly or humanly possible way I could have done that on my own, for I had already tried. Only when I humbled myself and truly asked for God's help was I able to feel that peace.

To come unto Christ means to leave behind our doubt, fear, and sin, and humble ourselves. Let him heal you.

One of my other favorite parts of this verse is "his grace is sufficient." No matter how many mistakes you've made, no matter how many times you've stumbled or doubted or feared or rebelled, no matter how short you may fall of the glory of God, Christ's grace is sufficient for YOU. He loves  Helen, Mady, Rachel, Marie rose, Katie, Nicole, Sherri, Valerie, Caroline, mark, John, Amanda, Eliza, James, Seth, jack, Madison, Dylan, McKenna, Mckenzie, Gerdy, Mary, Alice, Tyler, Makayla, Adam, Stacy, Victoria, Brandon, Matthew, Max, Elizabeth, Samantha, Whitney, Brittany, Stephanie, Sarah, Gwen, Bryan, Brad, Gabby, Emily, Louiza, Lissa, Molly, Megan, Bailey, Parker, Brock, Austin, Jake, Lindsey, and: You. If I missed your name leave it in a comment and I'll add it on here, because Christ loves you.

Come unto Christ, and be perfected in him.
