This past Easter an unprecedented and beautiful event occurred. People all over social media used a church-endorsed hashtag - #BecauseofHim - to tell about what the Savior has done for them. There was a beautiful clip about Christ and what our lives can be #BecauseofHim. It gave me a deeper connection to many of my friends, to see what aspects of the Atonement they internalize in their lives most. It caused me to reflect on my personal experiences, and the deep peace that I am able to feel #BecauseofHim. I felt the spirit as humanity connected through this hashtag in a way that can only happen through the pure love of Christ.
Because of Him, I can feel peace that surpasses all my understanding, despite all my shortcomings.
Because of Him, I can overcome my weaknesses - and not only overcome them, but turn them into strengths.
Because of Him, my ability to love others is deepened.
Because of Him, I know my family will be together not only in this life, but in the next.
Because of Him, I know that adversity lasts 'but a small moment' and I can endure a little, because He endured all.
Because of Him, I can reach my full potential as a daughter of God. The possibilities are limitless.
I am so glad everyone came together to share what they can do, what they are becoming #BecauseofHim. I hope this eternal truth becomes such a part of our life that the feeling transcends the Easter holiday, and becomes part of our everyday life.
