To me, this quote really just needs to remind all of us and myself included, that no matter what situations life throws at us without even realizing it-- there will always be something good to come out of them. It isn't necessarily anything that is going to make ourselves miserable or feel like it's not fair we can't explain to anyone else about how we really need to cope with what is going on.
I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
And you can't cope
I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I won't let go...
These lyrics are the chorus of a song that I've listened to in my bedroom multiple times and never paid much attention to them, until just recently that it had me think of this analogy. The words of this chorus remind me that despite anything we ever have to face in life, the Savior will always and forever be there standing by us through our tribulations. He will be there next to you and I with drying away our tears to help us fight our spiritual battles, regardless of how challenging the situation really appears to be. He will hold us close to him as we go throughout our everyday lives to make sure we continue to be on His side of the line and not anyone elses. I truly have felt like the Savior is talking to me personally in these lyrics and as I've blogged about one too many times already that he is never going to leave us in handling things by ourselves. Even if we sometimes think we can handle it by ourselves, it is never the case because he is and always will be there for us to lighten our heavy burdens that we all have. I know he isn't going to let go of us through any period of time in our struggles because he has already paid that unfathomable price to let us never forget that we are not alone. He may not give me the answers I'm desperately wanting right away and yet when I have found myself kneeling down in prayer to him, there is not one single trial that I cannot see the goodness coming from it. Once I got back in attending my special needs institute class this year, I have truly felt more closer to my Savior than ever before and I love the peace he can bring in our lives everyday of the week. In our family room, we have this portrait of the Savior that our amazing YSA ward friends presented us with as a thank you while back and whenever I've looked at it from across the way, I know that he is not out of my sight. It also reminds me that he is constantly wanting us to be more like him and to never forget that because of what he went through for all of us, we can strive to become a little better.
Like the lyrics in this beautiful song I just shared with you, it's titled: "I Won't Let Go." and to me this is exactly the message I need to be reminded of on a regular basis. It helps me to remember the Savior's hand in my life and in everything that I'm striving to do to be more like him. I have probably glanced if not more than one too many times at that portrait of our Savior and just this week alone, I know that he is watching over me in everything that I do to make myself become more like Him each day.
I know that without any shadow of a doubt, our Savior, Jesus Christ lives and that he will always be there with us no matter how difficult our challenges are for us. I know he wouldn't give me or anyone else something that he knows we couldn't handle in the things that we face, because he has always been there whether I've recognized it at certain times or not. While I was listening to this song last night in my bedroom, I knew right in that moment in time I was not going to be on my own with this particular situation and remembering who I am in the eyes of my Father in Heaven. I know it wouldn't have made me just start having a different perspective if I were not choosing to share this experience with all of you who are looking through it.
In sharing these lyrics with you guys today, I am grateful for the knowledge of having a purpose on this earth and the things I need to remember are just only making me a better person. It's not meant to give me more obstacles that are needed to be placed in front of me, but to remind me that my focus should be on the blessings that will come from it to keep us humble. I know for me personally all of the posts that I've shared in the last few days have certainly made me a little more in tune with what I need to remember and to never lose sight of the Savior in my life.
