The One Horizon Easter Gift

Ever since OnE HoRiZoN decided to share the spiritual thoughts for the week from our One Horizon meetings, I have found myself praying more fervently to know what it is that I should share when it was my turn because I believe that even though our viewers may be small in number and our talents may be at the very beginning stages of development it is part of God's plan for us to develop those talents we have in such a way that will uplift the human family.

I don't want us to limit ourselves, though, by being blind to our potential as daughters of God with inherited qualities and gifts.  If there is a member of the human family that we can uplift or comfort I want us to be able to do so to the very best of our ability.  It is my hope and prayer each time we share a message on our blog, unite our voices in song, combine our efforts with the Lord in the creation of a new song or an arrangement of an old one, that some how it will find a way to that heart that needs it the most.  I take this duty most seriously and feel like we are on the Lord's errand no matter how young we may be in our development or simple we may be in our efforts.  it is one of my greatest hopes that we can somehow make a difference one step at a time.

With that thought in mind, in the festive spirit of Easter, I would like to share little snippets of spiritual thoughts from One Horizon each day from now until Easter.  This is our gift to all of you.  We hope you enjoy it and have a blessed Easter day.

Dependence on the Lord

A quick uplifting thought for today....We had another One Horizon meeting, (which means we had a cross-country conference call), and we discussed our dependence upon the Lord.
When life is going smoothly, it is so easy to let good habits slip.  Habits like studying (not just reading) the scriptures, and praying always (not just falling asleep while kneeling next to the bed.)  Also things like "early to bed and early to rise," and following good eating practices.
When life gives us trials, suddenly we realize our utter dependence upon the Lord.  We are always in constant need of Him; we just don't always realize it until we are in a difficult situation or we have an experience that truly humbles us to the dirt. There is strength in humility.

We are nothing without God but with Him we can do all things.
