"I feel my Savior's love, the love he freely gives me"

Two years ago, I was at the end of a collapsing marriage. Now, I’m not sharing this to re-hash old details or throw shade on anyone. I’m sharing because I felt inspired to share how God’s light and love can shine through the darkness.

I remember one night a few weeks before Christmas, I was in my room all alone, and the weight of the situation was crushing me. I couldn’t sleep, I was crying so hard I could hardly breathe, and no matter what I tried, I just couldn’t stop. After what felt like forever, I prayed and simply said, “God are you there? Because I need you RIGHT NOW. I feel SO alone”

I started to hear the a faint melody in my head. A feeling of calm started to trickle in, enough to stop crying. I laid there for a minute and just listened. I walked to the piano in the other room and started to play this melody. Then I started to pair with the children’s hymn “I Feel My Savior’s Love.”

As I played, I felt an overwhelming feeling of peace and love. I had to stop playing because I started crying again - but this time because I felt so much love and peace that I hadn’t felt in a very long time. I felt wrapped in God’s love and knew that no matter what happened in the next few weeks, God would be with me.

The following months were anything but easy, but I saw miracles along the way and I know God was with me.

There is a verse that I love at the end of the first chapter of the Book of Mormon that says “But behold, I, Nephi will show unto that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance.”

In this first chapter, Nephi gave a brief summary of all the hardships that he and his family had gone through, and that he would be explaining in the upcoming chapters. But even after all that (and he went through quite a lot), he says, “Yes it was hard, but let me show you how God was with me through it all.”

During this Christmas season - and throughout the rest of the year - I hope we can all focus on Jesus Christ and how he has helped us through the hard times of our life, and blessed us in the good times as well.

And most of all, I hope we can “feel my Savior’s love, the love he freely gives me.”

This arrangement is a medley of two of my favorite hymns, "I Feel My Savior's Love" and "Our Savior's Love."

"I Feel My Savior's Love"
I feel my Savior's love, in all the world around me
His spirit warms my soul, through everything I see
He knows I will follow him, give all my life to him
I feel my Savior's love, the love he freely gives me

"Our Savior's Love"
Our Savior's love, shines like the sun with perfect light
As from above, it breaks thru clouds of strife
Lighting our way, it leads us back into his sight
Where we may stay, to share eternal life
