Unrepeatable Miracles

Hey everyone! I hope your lives are going well!

If it's not, I hope you know you can call me anytime and I'll be here for you!

Also, I would prescribe ice cream as a way to make any situation just a little better and prayer as a way to make any situation a LOT better! :)

I just wanted to share something from church last week that really resonated with me.

Once a month, LDS churches have a Fast and Testimony meeting on Sunday. Members of the church go without food or water for two meals and donate the money they would have spent on those meals as an offering that will be used to help those in need. Then anyone who feels so impressed can go up during our meeting and bear testimony of their Savior and His gospel.

This past Fast Sunday, my bishop (the leader over a specific LDS congregation) said                                something that really resonated with me.

     He said: "You are each unrepeatable miracles."

When you think of a miracle, what do you think of? Maybe Moses parting the Red Sea? Maybe Jesus calming the storm or healing the sick? Maybe manna from heaven?

Look in the mirror. What you see is a miraculous creation unlike any God has ever made or will make again.

I've been thinking a lot about my purpose lately.
I've been working on myself and my relationship with God and Christ,
studying my scriptures deeper, praying harder,
ponderizing a new scripture each week,
trying to better understand my Savior and His Atonement,
and asking God to show me what I need to change, how I can
become better for whatever purpose he created me for.

The closer I've gotten to God, the clearer one thing has become:

He loves me and knows me, more than anyone ever has or will.

You are unique, immeasurably precious.
You are a child of God.
And He loves you.
More than you can ever understand.

If you aren't sure of this, pray and ask to feel His love.
He will show you.

Never forget whose you are.

Never forget that you are truly an unrepeatable miracle.
