"Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing"

These past few weeks that I have been working on my mission papers can be summarized by one of my favorite hymns, "Come thou fount of every blessing". (special thanks to Jess for showing me this awesome version of it)

My heart began to hurt as my past came rushing back to me. Then I turned my thoughts to how Heavenly Father has watched over and guided me, especially through those dark days... "Oh to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be. Let thy goodness, like fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee."

I have also had to face that old enemy of mine, self-doubt. I don't know how I can be filled with such a sense of worthlessness. Then I remember who I am, a daughter of God. I turn to Him and I am filled with such a deep feeling of love and peace. A feeling of wholeness.. "prone to wander, lord I feel it prone to leave the God I love, here's my heart oh take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above."

Oh how Heavenly Father loves His children. I know that it is more than we can ever understand. I will never let Satan conquer me, I will never give up, I will never loose faith. I will always have hope for the future and faith that Heavenly Father will guide me.. "Here I raise mine Ebenezer; hither by thy help I'm come and I hope by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home."

"Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, interposed His precious blood." Christ lives! He died for each of us, so that we may return to our Father in heaven and live forever as His beloved children.

"Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it, mount of thy redeeming love."
