I recently posted about the images of Christ that I'm saving in Instagram. After just a few weeks, I'm close to 300 images. This spontaneous project is really touching my heart. Today during the sacrament, I opened my little album and spent some time thinking of Him as I looked at these images.
I recently heard Emily Freeman talk about how she prays for the attribute of Christ that can help her that day. I've been thinking about that a lot and these images have helped me.
I had a few little packs of mini paintings of Christ that I used to keep in my church bag when my kids were young. I recently pulled those out and bought a couple more. Then I mixed them all together. I started displaying a different one for myself on my nightstand each day. When I put a new picture up, I think about what attributes are depicted in that image. How does that attribute bless me?
My image for today shows Christ as the creator, showing love to even the little birds. Luke 12:7 says, "But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows." Christ loves each of us beyond our ability to comprehend.
A few days ago, the image showed Christ as King. I thought about how happy I am to be His subject, to follow His laws. He knows how to give laws that will always be to my benefit and show complete love to me in the process. I had the thought of being on His team and working toward a common goal with Him.
One of my favorite things to pay attention to in paintings and photos is the way artists use light to portray Christ's character. In our Relief Society lesson today, we talked about the light of Christ. I thought about the contrast between dark moments in my life and the brightness of Christ's light when I turn to Him. He is the source of all light and I have felt Him warming my soul again and again, especially in my dark moments. I love my Savior, Jesus Christ. I'm continually grateful for His influence in my life.
