A common beginning to many of my journal entries over the years goes something like – It has been so long since I wrote. Apparently, my blog can now claim the same. I had a very busy season. Now I find more time and feel the call to return to write. And share.
Each week of the next 52, I will take a moment to post here. My hope, as from the beginning, will be to share the good.
For Christmas, we received a thick book containing artistic depictions of Jesus. I took time to look through each page, thinking about the artwork and each artists’ unique “voice”. All the same subject, yet portrayed in a variety of ways.
I felt pulled to add my own, but to use words as the format. Inspired by my daily reading today in Mosiah 15:1 in the Book of Mormon, which reads in part, “…God himself shall come down among the children of men, and shall redeem his people.”
To think –
The very Creator of the earth brought Himself low enough to be subject to all. The very elements He created. Humanity in all forms.
He had ultimate power – could have countered any mistreatment, subjected any, provided any want. The Epitome of self-mastery and humility.
Continually offering His will to do the Father’s. Consistently pointing us to Heaven and our fellow travelers. Only doing the best good.
He allowed Himself to feel and experience all we ever would, lower than the lowest. So He could gather us all and lift us up. Back to Home.
How grateful I am for My Savior and yours. I know He will help us all to make the best of this next year -whatever may come.
In light of the recent passing of President Jeffrey R. Holland, one of his quotes…
“When He says to the poor in spirit, “Come unto me,” He means He knows the way out and He knows the way up. He knows it because He has walked it. He know the way because He is the way.”
