Quote "Literally, the Atonement means to be 'at one' with Him. The nature of the Atonement and its effects is so infinite, so unfathomable, and so profound that it lies beyond the knowledge and comprehension of mortal man. I am profoundly grateful for the principle of saving grace...The overwhelming message of the Atonement is the perfect love the Savior has for each and all of us. It is a love which is full of mercy, patience, grace, equity, long-suffering, and above all, forgiving."
~President James E. Faust
Question "How do you experience the Savior's love?
This question brings to mind the lyrics to one of my favorite songs:
I feel my Savior's love
In all the world around me
His spirit warms my soul
Through everything I see
He knows I will follow Him
Give all my life to Him
I feel my Savior's love
The love He freely gives me
I feel my Savior's love
Its gentleness enfolds me
And when I kneel to pray
My heart is filled with peace
He knows I will follow Him
Give all my life to Him
I feel my Savior's love
The love He freely gives me
I feel my Savior's love
And know that He will bless me
I offer Him my heart
My shepherd He will be
He knows I will follow Him
Give all my life to Him
I feel my Savior's love
The love He freely gives me
I'll share my Savior's love
By serving others freely
In serving I am blessed
In giving I receive
He knows I will follow Him
Give all my life to Him
I feel my Savior's love
The love He freely gives me.
Actually, it brings another song to mind, which my sister and I sang at our sister's funeral:
Our Savior's love
Shines like the sun with perfect light
As from above
It breaks through clouds of strife
Lighting our way
It leads us back into His sight
Where we may stay
To share eternal life
The spirit voice
Of goodness whispers to our hearts
A better choice
Than evil's anguished cries
Loud may the sound
Of hope ring 'til all doubt departs
And we are bound
To Him by loving ties
Our Father, God
Of all creation hear us pray
In reverence, awed
By Thy Son's sacrifice
Praises we sing
We love Thy law
We will obey
Our Heavenly King
In Thee
Our hearts rejoice
Clearly, I experience His love through music. I love music, especially the hymns, and primary songs....I LOVE THEM! When I was the primary chorister, I always told my kids to "sing their testimonies!" That's what I do, every time I sing a hymn, it is sung as my testimony!
