Why we all need Jesus ♥️


 Why we need Jesus ♥️


As I was getting ready for church this morning, the thought popped into my head of, why we all need Jesus in our lives. I started thinking about that thought, and immediately knew it was because of the LOVE he and our Father in heaven have for us.


I think it’s safe to say, that you and I can attest that we are not perfect individuals, even far from it! At times, we might feel we don’t deserve the love, mercy, understanding, and forgiveness, from our Savior. But- He is always there, ready to give it to us because He has already atoned for everything we have done, are doing, and will do. 


Why was He willing to go through this? Why does He love us so much? Why does He want to help us so freely? Why did He suffer for us? 


Well, Jesus Christ did all of these things for us: 👇🏻

To show His great love for us.

To prevent our suffering fully for our sins.

To allow us to repent of and be forgiven for our sins.

To glorify the Father.

To allow us to return to God.

To bring us to God.


BECAUSE He LOVES you and I so so much. ♥️


John 15:13 “​Greater ​​​love​ hath no man than this, that a man lay down his ​​​life​ for his ​​​friends​.”


1 Peter 3:18 “For Christ also hath once ​​​suffered​ for sins, the just for the ​​​unjust​, that he might BRING US BACK TO GOD, being put to ​​​death​ in the flesh, but quickened by the ​​​Spirit​:”


D&C 19:16 “16 ​For behold, I, God, have ​​​suffered​ these things for all, that THEY ​​​might​ not suffer if they would ​​​repent​;”


2 Corinthians 5:21 “For he hath made him ​to be​ ​​​sin​ for us, who knew no ​​​sin​; that we might be made the ​​​righteousness​ of God in him.”


As you think of Jesus Christ today, when you partake of the sacrament or when you are doing some personal study, pray and ask God for more understanding, for more love and appreciation in your heart for your Savior Jesus Christ and for my Savior.


He really does love you and I so much! He loves you when you’re not doing what’s right, when you are, when you’re following the commandments, and when you’re not. He loves you and I no matter what.


God knew we would need a Savior and someone who would completely understand what we are feeling and going through! And because God loves us so much, He sent His only begotten Son. (John 3:16) I can’t think of a better way to show His love for us, by providing a Savior for us, so that we can return to Him. 


I’m so grateful for Him. My brother, Savior, Redeemer, and Prince of Peace, even Jesus Christ. We NEED Him. So much, in all of our lives! ♥️

My body: ❤️

  New post: My body: Warning ⚠️ vulnerable post ahead!  I’ve always been more on the plus size side and have really tried hard to work on myself to become more confident with my body. I’ve tried to feel comfortable in my own skin and to love and accept my body in every stage, because EVERY stage is beautiful! But I’m not perfect at it and some days are hard. I’ve recently gained some weight that has come with the stresses of life (uggg it’s the worst) life changes, etc. and have found myself absolutely CONSUMED with my body and how “awful” I think I look. 😓 I’m the girl in a room thinking of my weight and if I’m the heaviest. Constantly comparing my body to everyone else’s. I always thought that I had to have this “perfect” body to feel accepted and that if I didn’t fit this standard of beauty that I would have no value.  I find myself comparing my body to everyBODY that comes along. I remember for almost every birthday growing up, secretly wishing to be “skinny” and thinking that if

God is love ❤️

 I recently attended the funeral services of Cason’s uncle that unexpectedly passed away. Even though I didn’t know him super well, he was such a kind man! Tears fell as the talks, memories, and testimonies of his family, grandchildren, and friends were shared. I walked away feeling so uplifted ❤️🙏🏻 it was such a spiritual funeral. I think that’s the point, when loved ones pass, is to get you to reflect on your own life and the people around you. I felt so much love that day-So much care and concern that God is aware, He is in control, and He knows what we are all going through! I know God has a plan for each of His beloved children. I know He loves each and every single one of YOU! Yes, YOU. I know that not a tear falls that He doesn’t know about or of a hurtful thought that was said to you. He celebrates the good times and is there for us in the bitter times. He finds joy in the things that make us laugh and in the people we help along the way. He truly is our biggest fan and cheer

LIVE ☀️

  New post: I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting recently and realized that it’s been a while since I’ve felt inspired to write a new post.  Hardships and loss, like most thought provoking experiences we are all going to get to go through, bring lots of reflection. Loss of a loved one, compassion for those experiencing the loss, and the sorrow and grief that come along, that you don’t quite understand and realize, until you go through it yourself.  Death and change, ironically, make you think and reflect on your own life. The impact you make, the example you set, the kindness you show, the love you give freely, and the acts of service you show to others.  It (hopefully) makes you want you try harder. To be a little better. To love more. To give more. To serve more. To LIVE more. To not let the opportunities pass you by. To spend more time with the ones you love. To do the things you’ve dreamed of doing. To not sweat the small stuff and to actually LIVE. ☀️ So here’s to the new version o
