Amazing Grace


"Then Sings My Soul, My Savior, God, To Thee- How Great Thou Art!"
-Stuart K. Hine

Today I am thinking how incredible it is that we can all come to personally know the most intelligent, creative force in the universe. Even more incredible is that this being sacrificed His only Son to bring us back to Him so we can be like Him. The way is easy, and the burden is light.
It takes me back to the old hymn, Amazing Grace: "'Twas grace that caused my heart to fear, and grace that fear relieved; how precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed".

"My soul hath been redeemed from the gall of bitterness and bonds of iniquity. I was in the darkest abyss; but now I behold the marvelous light of God. My soul was racked with eternal torment; but I am snatched, and my soul is pained no more."
Mosiah 27:29

Trusting in the Savior can bring you the greatest peace and happiness you can ever find.
I experienced this change of heart when I was younger- I grew up in this religion, but I always had wanted to know if it was true for myself. I didn't believe right off. But I prayed and read the bible, and it taught me many things. I began to feel a connection with God, and that little connection grew into a relationship that has helped me through the most trying times.
