Come Unto Jesus

Last night, I dreamed about the Savior. I can't remember the images of the dream very well, but I just remember thinking about how Christ heals so many people in the scriptures. People come unto him, seek his words, live his teachings, and then are filled with his love and joy. In my dream I came to the realization that the Savior can help me. He can heal my wounded soul just as he did to all those people in the scriptures.

Tonight the Relief Society sisters gathered in the church to hear Todd McCabe and April Moriarty perform songs of Christ, and I was really touched. The spirit filled the entire chapel. I attached one of their songs below so you could get a gist of their music. They played an arrangement of the hymn Come Unto Jesus (#117), and while they played, I read the words to this song. The third verse was exactly what I needed.

Come unto Jesus; He’ll surely hear you,
If you in meekness plead for his love.
Oh, know you not that angels are near you
From brightest mansions above?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has ever felt like no one will listen to you or that no one understands what you're going through. This brought me hope. My Savior understands, and if I plead for his love, I will be able to feel his peace, comfort, and understanding. I know that Jesus Christ is our ultimate healer.

In D&C 39:1-2 it reads, "Hearken and listen to the voice of him who is from all eternity to all eternity, the Great I Am, even Jesus Christ— The light and the life of the world; a light which shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehendeth it not;" (Also see D&C 45:7) As I've personalized this scripture, it has become a lot more meaningful to me. Jesus Christ is my light. Jesus Christ is my life. I hope that these thoughts will help you as they have helped me, and I say them in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
