It Breaks My Heart
Tonight as I was reading in Alma 31 about the Zoramites denying Christ. In verses 15-18 it just breaks my heart to read what they say. Especially in verse 16 when they say, "...but we believe that thou hast elected us to be thy holy children and also thou hast made it known unto us that there shall be no Christ." When I read this it made me realize how lucky we are to have Christ in our lives. I don't know where I would be or where I wouldn't be (because we wouldn't exist) if it weren't for Christ. This chapter made me realize how blessed I truly am. I have a Savior who loves me unconditionally. He loves me even when I make mistakes. He suffered and died for me. Through him and this church I have an incredible family and friends that surround my life. I love my Savior very much and never in my life could I ever say "there shall be no Christ." We could not be here if there were no Christ and I can't imagine not having all the wonderful things that I do, especially my life.

I have read the prayer of the Zoramites before, but your thoughts on what it would mean to have no savior, as they believed, has given me a new perspective and greater appreciation for him.
It is hard to imagine how people live from day to day without Christ in their lives. The funny thing is that He is in their lives, even if they don't recognize Him. We are so blessed when we open our hearts to His love and our lives to His power.
