Week 51 I Feel My Saviors Love
Happy
Easter!!! I had an incredible week and those who have not watched the
video yet should watch, ¨Because of Him,¨ I watched it but without sound and I
was almost to tears. It is incredible. I was reflecting on Him this week,
gave a talk in Sacrament yesterday on the sacrament and Sabbath Day. I
was reading a ton and studying a ton about His invitation to Come Unto Him.
One of BYU professor´s for Book of Mormon (Bro. Johnson), always
said, that is the theme of the Book of Mormon. I love 3 Nephi 9:14, ¨Yea,
verily I say unto you, if ye will come unto me ye shall have eternal life.
Behold, mine arm of mercy is extended towards you, and whosoever will come, him
will I receive; and blessed are those who come unto me.¨ His arms really
are extended towards us. If you doubt it, please get on your knees and pray to
know, pray for humility to know that we are never too good, or
too far,
or too old, or too young to know the Savior´s love for us and feel is warm
embrace. He lives and I know He is our Savior. He loves us and desires
our safety, victory, comfort, and salvation more than we know.
The song
¨I feel my Savior´s Love¨ Kept popping into my head these past few days.
Do you ever feel like what you are studying/preparing for others ends up
being exactly what YOU needed?
1. I feel
my Savior's love
In all
the world around me.
His
Spirit warms my soul
Through
ev'rything I see.
2. I feel
my Savior's love;
Its
gentleness enfolds me,
And when
I kneel to pray,
My heart
is filled with peace.
3. I feel
my Savior's love
And know
that he will bless me.
I offer
him my heart;
My
shepherd he will be.
4. I'll
share my Savior's love
By
serving others freely.
In
serving I am blessed.
In giving
I receive.
He Knows
I will follw Him
Give all
my life to Him
I feel my
Savior´s love
The love
he freely gives me
I pray
that I and that we may all give our lives to him. Consecrate our time,
talents, and service to Him. I was reading this morning in 3 Nephi 12:13
about being the salt of the earth. Don´t lose what you know to be true.
I love you all so much!!! Xoxo Love,
Hermana Owen
