Always Remember Him

I have been thinking back on my childhood life and all of the fun that it was.  I also reflected upon the times where there was mistakes and mishaps, particularly when I have walked away scarred from injury.  I have these little reminders, one on my forehead, one on my hand, and another on my foot.  All of these scars help me to explain a story.  As I look at them, I am reminded of how they came to be there.  My mind plays back the most vivid and remarkable scenes of just how these scars came about, they have become, so to speak, my little marks of remembrance. 

As a young boy, I seemed to love to flaunt these scars and tell everyone I knew how I got them.  It made my story better when I told them how bad it hurt, or how I didn't even cry when I got stitches.  They were to me and to everyone I told, evidence that these events had actually happened. 

Those events and that thought, pull me back to the Savior.  To those whom He appeared, the prints in His hands and feet bore witness that he truly is the Son of God.  D & C 6:36-37 tell us of a promise as we remember Him.  In remembering the pains that brought our scars, let us also remember Him, who willingly accepted these scars, that mark Him our Savior and Redeemer.  Let us remember to believe in Him and to follow Him.  To his scars, it is not just a story, but it is quite literally His life and glory.  I know that He lives and loves us and we are blessed as we believe in Him, John 20:26-29.
