Million Billion Trillion

Maybe this is especially just for me. If all else leaves, If i leave all, there will always be this:

I was young when i heard a storey about the Patriach, Abraham, willing to sacrifice his son to appease the justified wrath of his God. I had all the notions of God and Jesus that a child of nine might imagine, just stories and clippings of a far bigger picture. And I heard the storey again and it crossed my mind that this all might be relevant to me. For an ensign these Words will answer any question I might ever have about my salvation, because it was these Words that saved my soul: "And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the place of his son. And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen." Gen 22:13-14

So I understood, my blood is required for redemption, but there is One who will take my place, not a ram caught in a thicket beacuase "niether by the blood or goates and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us." Hebrews 9:12. And I prayed to God as I sat there on the carpet in my bedroom, and thanked him for His only son who He sacrificed, whose blood is the atonement for my sin.

Peace is this. Knowing that I have heaven as my home, that 'neither hieght, depth, angels, powers, principalities, nor things present nor things to come will be able to separate me from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus my LORD.'

So, i can come here to find a humble place, take off my shoes, kneel on holy ground, where angels hush their singing, and remember the God of creation is the God of my soul. Sometimes I can hardly breathe. " Before Abraham was I Am".
