Jesus Visits Us In Our Afflictions!

Wow! I love this song so much. This song can teach us many lessons. But I would like to focus on how the Savior will visit us when we most need him.

Here are the lyrics to this video:

Her parents never took the young girl to church
Never spoke of His name
Never read her His word
Two non-believers walking lost in this world
Took their baby with them
What a sad little girl

Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs
Never wanted to play
Or give kisses and hugs
She'd watch the TV and sit there on the couch
While her mom fell asleep
And her daddy went out

And the drinking and the fighting
just got worse every night
Behind their couch she'd be hiding
Oh what a sad little life
And like it always does, the bad just got worse
With every slap and every curse
Until her daddy in a drunk rage one night
Used a gun on her mom and then took his life

And some people from the city took the girl far away
To a new mom and a new dad
kisses and hugs everyday
Her first day of Sunday school the teacher walked in
And a small little girl
Stared at a picture of Him

She said I know that man up there on that cross
I don't know His name
But I know He got off
Cause He was there in my old house
and held me close to His side
As I hid there behind our couch
The night that my parents died


The last 2 paragraphs of this song are really neat. Because I know that the Savior does visit his children when they need him. It reminds me of a scripture. It is Mosiah 24:14. The last part of this verse says "...that ye may know of a surety that I, the Lord God, do visit my people in their afflictions." That is so true. I also think about Alma chapter 7. How is talks about Christ coming into this world to go through all of our pains and afflictions. And then in Verse 12 it says "...that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities." So he goes through all of our pains, sins, temptations and all of our afflictions, so that he will know how to help us through our hard times. I bare my testimony that I know that this is true. That Jesus Christ is there for us. That he can help us through anything we are going through.
