Today, as I attended church, my testimony and love for my savior, Jesus Christ, was undeniably elevated and strengthened. I have no doubt that the Atonement is real. I have no doubt that Christ loves us enough to bear our sins for us,if we will only humble ourselves and apply the Atonement in our lives. I was assured by the Spirit, that Christ knows how I feel when I feel stressed and depressed about school. He knows my frustrations when I get a bad grade, when I feel lonely and home-sick, inadequate or awkward, and when all I want to do is crawl into my bed. He knows the feelings of all my pains. But He also feels the same joy, the same feeling of accomplishment, the same excitement, and love. He knows me so well, so I will put my faith in Him. I know that as I put all my faith in Him, He will guide me through this stressful, hard, emotion-packed, happy, crazy time in my life. I know He loves me. I love Him, and I know that it is only through His help, that I can make it through. As we sang the closing hymn in Relief Society, I was overcome with emotion and with the Spirit.
Hymn 117 "1. Come unto Jesus, ye heavy laden,
Careworn and fainting, by sin oppressed.
He’ll safely guide you unto that haven
Where all who trust him may rest.
2. Come unto Jesus; He’ll ever heed you,
Though in the darkness you’ve gone astray.
His love will find you and gently lead you
From darkest night into day.
3. Come unto Jesus; He’ll surely hear you,
If you in meekness plead for his love.
Oh, know you not that angels are near you
From brightest mansions above?
4. Come unto Jesus from ev’ry nation,
From ev’ry land and isle of the sea.
Unto the high and lowly in station,
Ever he calls, “Come to me.”
Elevation: High on the Spiritual scale.
