Today was another wonderful day in the Wandsworth Common Ward, complete with my one little Sunbeam and playing the Organ in Sacrament Meeting. It was a very relaxed day and I had some good time to ponder and reflect on some things. One of my best friends reported to the MTC for his 2 year LDS Mission in Boston this past Wednesday, and it has given me the opportunity to step back and think about the Gospel and my testimony of Christ's teachings as I bade him farewell for two years and continue to prepare for my own missionary service.
The Sacrament Hymn that I played today was 193: I Stand All Amazed, and as I was playing and reading the words I was very impressed by the second verse. It reads: "I marvel that he would descend from his throne divine, to rescue a soul so rebellious and proud as mine, That he would extend his great love unto such as I, sufficient to own, to redeem and to justify." This is something that I think about a lot as I ponder the gift that is the Atonement of Christ and the blessing that is His Gospel. We must have a divine purpose and divine roots because I can think of few other reasons why He would suffer to save us all. He truly does love each and every one of us, and I need to remember that and strive to appreciate and be more grateful for all that He has given to me, and to serve those around me and follow His example.
