She met the Savior

Today I met someone who has seen the Savior. Kim Rives came and spoke at our church to the young women about how to come closer to Jesus Christ. She is a cancer survivor, and had a near death experience 12 years ago. She wrote a book titled, "My Walk Through Heaven". I read it a few months ago and found it to be one of the most inspiring books I've ever read. When she met the Savior in Paradise, she was surprised that He didn't ask anything from her. He asked, "How can I serve you?" How amazing that God, the creator of worlds wants to serve us. This made me realize that if I want to become like Christ, I need to always be looking for ways to serve others.

I was thrilled that she agreed to come and speak to the young women in our ward. I felt the spirit very strong as she shared her message through word and through song. You can tell by the peace and love that radiate from Kim that she lives a Christlike life. I also have felt the unconditional love of my Savior. I know He lives. I love Him more than I know how to express. It is worth any sacrifice to live so that I can return and live in His presence.
