Monday Meditations: Amazing Grace

Today's meditation focuses on Grace.  As we ponder Grace today and throughout the week, may we ponder on our lives up to this point in time.  If we really think and meditate on Grace, there is probably a million different instances in our lives that we were given Grace and didn't even know it.  We would probably fall at our Savior's feet when we come to find that he was always there with us extending his Grace and we didn't even know that it had been given us.  If we can focus this week on all the mercies that we receive through grace every minute and day, we may be able to see that the Savior is always with us even when we may not see it, feel it, or even show appreciation for it.  May we be more aware of His Grace this week as we go day to day, hour to hour, and minute to minute.  May we be touched by His Grace and then extend that Grace to those around us and even ourselves is our prayer for you this week.

Step 1:  Set your intention on what you could do this week to see the hand of Grace in your life, or extend it to someone else who needs it.  This may even be you.

Step 2:  Now with your intention in place, watch the video below and let your spirit connect to Grace through the Comforter and experience a shift in perception.


Step 3:  Read Ether 12: 26-27:

 26 And when I had said this, the Lord spake unto me, saying: Fools mock, but they shall mourn; and my grace is sufficient for the meek, that they shall take no advantage of your weakness;
 27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.
Step 4:  Listen again to the song in the video with your eyes closed while breathing in faith and breathing out grace.  End with a prayer focused on your intention that you have set and expect miracles this week as you focus on His Grace.

Beautiful job!  Sat Nam!  Have a week full of life and grace!

Testimony Tuesdays: President Thomas S. Monson

We thought we should highlight one of the many testimonies of our current prophet Thomas S. Monson.  When you think about the significance that President Monson talks with our Savior about what OUR SAVIOR would have us (the members of His church) know for our protection and guidance in our current lives it is something miraculous and so REAL.  Today we would like to share this video of our prophet testifying of the reality that Christ LIVES.  The prophets in the scriptures testify of this reality.  And in our dispensation Joseph Smith testified that he saw God the Father and his son Jesus Christ.  Watch President Monson's powerful testimony of the reality of the living Son of God.  Happy Tuesday!
