How Great Thou Art:
"And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"
As I listened to this song tonight I was struck with gratefulness for all God does for me; specifically for sending his Son to suffer and die for us so that we can repent and are not left alone in our trials. This past Sunday our Laurel's lesson was on Adversity and a beautiful video was shared;

My heart was full. What amazing words; "I am the gardener here." What an impact this had on me that day. I know that God knows what He is doing, I know that as we trust in Him and have faith in the Savior, even when we are cut down we will be blessed with Their divine and infinite love. How grateful I am that God loved us enough to send His Son to die for us, that He loves us enough to give us the Holy Ghost to comfort us in trying times, and that He loves us enough to never leave us alone. I can testify that when we rely on Jesus Christ we will grow and bloom after we are cut down. It may be a long process, but if we endure to the end we will become beautiful flowers in Heavenly Father's garden. Thank you Annie for sharing this video and for your wonderful lesson!
Love,
Kenzie
