Seen by Christ: Sharane Pitts

 

DESCRIBE AN EXPERIENCE WHEN YOU HAVE FELT SEEN BY JESUS CHRIST:

Sharane Pitts, 37th Ward

Dear sisters, I was asked to share a photo of myself with my favorite picture of Christ. This is me with my favorite people (my husband & children), and this is one of my favorite pictures of Christ (there are so many beautiful ones). I was also asked to describe an experience when I felt seen by Jesus Christ.

The past two years have brought some heartbreaking experiences for two of our children. One child has walked away from the church, Heavenly Father, and Jesus Christ. Another child has suffered from severe depression. These are ongoing, very difficult experiences to navigate as a mother. Many times, I haven't known how to find the strength to keep going. Jesus Christ has given me so much strength and love. I know, without a doubt, that He sees me and that He understands my pain, worry, and troubled spirit. He gives me so much hope when I struggle to see my way forward. I am so thankful for Jesus Christ. I know that He lives and that He loves us all.
