If God Loved Me, He Wouldn't Let This Happen | His Grace

- After suffering four brain injuries in one year and enduring excruciating pain and memory loss, Emily Farmer felt God’s grace as she shared her talents. “We are never abandoned,” she exclaimed. “God is there for us.”
“Every day was so hard,” she said, describing the brain fog and agony after the fourth brain injury, caused by a car accident. She questioned, If God loved her, why would He let these injuries happen? “I felt like my life was done.”
One day while jogging, she heard a distinct voice tell her to stop and play the piano in a care center. A gifted musician, Emily thought she’d return another day when she wasn’t so sweaty. The voice was more demanding the second time, so she entered.
In the course of performing a makeshift concert, she met a man “with a little pep to his step” who would turn 100 years old in six months. She promised to return every week until his birthday.
“It was so hard every day just to get out of bed, but I … had made a promise to this man,” she said. “I have to keep him alive until he is 100 years old.” Her weekly visits soon turned into daily shows.
This new friend taught her to move forward in life despite challenges. “If you have a pulse, you have a purpose,” he said.
Gradually, Emily said, through interactions with others, she began to feel God’s grace. Hope grew. “God puts people in our path … at the most random times,” she continued. “If there’s anything I’ve learned in my life, it’s that we are never abandoned. … God is there for us.”

I love his quote! "If you have a pulse, you have a purpose."
I love this!!
I was baptised today and am so thankful for the missionaries that came into my life and helped me! Just as she said, God will put people into your life for a reason!
Welcome to the True Church of Jesus Christ!
That's awesome! Way to go.
Congratulations!!!! Welcome!
Congrats! I hope you find good fellowship in the church!
I am so happy for you! Welcome, we love you.
I remember when an accumulation of life changing horrible things happened to me. I started to question how if God still loved me why He allowed me to suffer so much, why did He permit such awful things to happen. I got to the point I didn’t even want to live anymore. I got on my knees one morning, not wanting to go on and cried out, “God I need to know you love me, if you do make it clear”. I went on my way to work, got on the train and there were no seats. I was squashed up in a corner next to the connecting doors. A lady turned round to me, smiled and handed me a leaflet. All it said on it was ‘God Loves You’.
I cannot begin to describe the feelings I had.
God will not always speak to us in such an outright way, like in that situation. However I’ve learnt that God will permit us to have experiences of pain, heartache, sickness, loss and situations requiring much patience, but He knows it’s temporary and that we are learning traits from those experiences that will help us become who we need to be, and that we are never alone during it. Earth has no pain that heaven cannot heal ❤️
Come, ye disconsolate, wherever you languish. Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel. I’m so glad you did that and experienced such a clear answer to such a poignant prayer.
God definitely works through the people around us and through the experiences we have, good and bad. In my trials, I try to find the lesson He’s teaching me so I don’t have to learn that lesson ever again!
Amen
Thank you for your testimony 🙏 I needed it. God is always on time. Thank you and God Bless!!
She was an angel

It has been a rough time lately, with school and my parents being busy and just feeling alone and tired and constantly making mistakes. But this morning one of my sisters from the church reached out to me this morning and asked if I was doing okay, and she was worried about me this whole week. Later this late afternoon, I was scrolling through CZcams and I came across this video and I just had the urge to watch it. I felt like I wasn't alone, and I felt loved and I feel hope again. So thank you, for posting this, it really helped me. I know the Savior lives, amen.
I ❤ this message! Grace IS found in the little things, all the time. Not just “after”. And God is always near us and loving us dearly.
God allows this so we can come closer to him. We grow the most when we are going through the trials.
These testimonies of the Lord stepping in our lives are so powerful and needed. We are not alone and he will never leave us alone. Thank you, this was much needed today.
I love this!!
Thank you, I'm 83 years old and the Ward organist and have been off and on depending on my calling for 51 years. Good music heals and draws us closer to God.
"The best antidote I know for worry, is work.
The best medicine for despair, is service.
The best cure for weariness, is the challenge of helping someone who is even more tired"
Gordon B Hinckley
What a fantastic message. This video clip will be shared this Sunday across the England and Wales Prison Radio, so that members and non members that are in custody can gain some hope.
Hi Jay, thanks for sharing with those who could benefit from it.
The media and videos the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are producing are next level. Very impressive and beneficial to all. The best faith and Christ centered videos on CZcams. Thank you very much 🙏🏽
When I was a teenager, some friends and I would go visit the elderly at the nursing home every Sunday, singing hymns for the residents and visiting with them. I never realized how much an impact it made on our lives until much later.
If you have a pulse you have a purpose.
I really needed to hear that today.
❤️
And you just did🤣
I felt this on a deep level. I’ve been dealing with brain fog and memory loss for the past two years. Some days it feels like I’ll never be the same. Like I’ll never be able to go back to school and be successful. Like I’ll never amount to anything. Like I’ll be stuck this way forever. It makes things become really dark really quick. I want my brain to function the way it used to. For me, for my husband, for my future children. Sometimes I get upset and think “how can God expect me to have kids and be a good mom when I can’t even remember what my husband and I talked about yesterday?” But I keep going and just hope that He has one heck of a plan for me.
When we serve others, we seem to find the healing we desperately need. Thank you for sharing, this is a great reminder!
WOW!! This is the stuff that you take with you through the ETERNITIES!
I love that she heard this prompting with music playing on her ear buds AND THEN she heard the prompting again even louder when she turned to leave. I always worry that I am missing so much personal revelation in my life because my life seems so loud and busy with my kids and homeschool but this is a testimony to me that the Spirit will get through to me and my heart, even if its really loud at the moment.
Luv this!
I feel like the lord truly speak to us in many ways. When this video pop up I felt like I had to watch it. I've have struggle with my faith over the years.
I have been struggling with massive anxiety with life in general.
I have been wondering why this is happening to me. Over the last few weeks I have been going through some real tough trials.
I felt a loud voice in my head telling me that I can't miss the message in this video.
It brought a hugh comfort to me. And made me feel a lot better.
Thank you for sharing. I struggle with anxiety and a life threatening illness. God loves you and he knows. He knows what you need when you need it. Don't ever give up.
What a wonderful message! We are all so important to God, and he wants each of us to bless others' lives to be brighter and more beautiful by showing them love.
We should each pray daily to be able to see who we might be able to help. After all we might be an answer to a prayer if we act on the messages God gives us.
I'm literally in the darkest moment where God had opened my eyes on the things I forced to be good or wanting things to be In my way. But God showed me that, the challenges we are going through are exactly what we needed in order for us to grow.
What an inspiring story. Heavenly Father treated me like a kickball. All through my youth. Handicapped by severe add I didn’t recognize right from wrong. Around 17 I left the church behind. At 65 I returned to a wonderful Ward. A truly loving Bishop, and I was able to baptize my wife into the church. What a blessing. I began to get prepared to go to the temple, to eventually become married in the temple, and sealed to Janice for eternity. When everything suddenly stopped. I saw our stake President and attempted to engage him in what was my next step. He dismissed me out of hand stating I needed to discuss this with my Bishop, I had already done that, and to be dismissed so out of hand, in an arrogant fashion was crushing to me. My hard work was all for nothing it seemed and here I was in the same place as in my youth. And my wife of 30 years passed away after 17 years. Left me alone. I told myself she was with Heavenly Father, in good hands. Shorty after the same arrogant Stake President, broke our loving ward in two, and forced us to go to a Ward that was struggling, and it became obvious was poorly led in my view. It became obvious to me as things really stalled, and nothing came to be, despite assurances to the contrary from the leadership. I prayed for guidance and strength, but always arrived at the same conclusion. Give up, leave again, every time. I feel abandoned in my quest. And have stopped attending regularly. Still asking for guidance, strength and understanding. But never finding peace. I’m struggling to remain on task, to walk my covenant path. But still my increasing distance from the Ward is leading me away again. Failing health is making it harder to remain. I feel abandoned in my task. I hope and pray I find the inspiration as you did. God bless you Sister. You are stronger than I.
Gary, thanks for sharing your story too! That is quite a journey you've been on. This mere paragraph that took me only moments to read represents a lifetime of experience and thought, weakness and strength, doubt and faith, suffering and triumph. I don't know your whole story, obviously, but I want you to know that you are not alone. Some of my loved ones are taking a bit of a detour from religion at present and I see them in your story. I hope and pray that they will turn to the Lord in their life like you have tried to. Your loved ones - living or not - are pulling for you too. :) Hang in there and give it another go! You're not alone, even if just some random guy on the internet says so, you know at least one person is thinking and praying for you - but certainly its more than that. :)
I saw this video for the first time today and I love it ❤️ Music and friendship are two awesome things that can make people feel happiness, love and gratitude😊🎶
God is good all the time
I have been struggling so much lately and for this video to be suggested is truly a blessing. I'm going through something very similar and it amazes me how when I am at my lowest I receive this inspiration and am shown I am not abandoned. I am grateful for my blessings and also my tribulations for both make me feel loved by our Heavenly Father. He has a plan for all of us and we should trust in His plan. Thank you to this young lady for sharing her testimony.
Emily, thank you for sharing your story. It has lifted me so much. My life is in a similar place where a car accident has caused neck and brain injuries and I really have been wondering if my life will ever be the same again. This video feels like it was made just for me. Thank you.
I love the quote… “If you have a pulse you have a purpose.” God will never abandon us!!🙏
Thank you for your testimony
Most people don’t realize how much Heavenly Father loves us and is there for us, ALL the time
No truer words were ever spoken. Thank you for your post.
Takeaway for me: Heavenly Father's infinite wisdom will always lead us to Him in the end someway somehow.
Thanks :)
Don't forget that if you have a pulse you have a purpose!! Let's all help each other out and find that purpose. God is with us, and if we look to Him He will help us find it. 🙏 Stay. You are loved and can live the life you want
His Grace Sufficient for everything. Amen🙏
God loves us so much He is willing to let us make our own mistakes. That goes for everyone. We are on this Earth for experiences. Most bad things that happen are due to either people who think they are in the right but are wrong, people who don't know better, people who are careless. God filled Emily's heart to help not only her friend, but also filled her friend's heart to help her.
Yes of course, God love for His children is unconditional.
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Nice smile on your profile.
She had faith even though He didn’t answer why it happened but sent those two together to learn together. It takes ears to hear, and follow. I appreciate this!
This story would make a great movie!
This is what life is about. Beautiful story.
This video was in my subscription list. I needed it a lot, I love hearing experiences where people experience revelation personally and I can apply it to my life.
Jesus bless us all❤️✝️🇲🇨
Thank you SO very much for sharing your story with us!! I too have been going through many hard trials and needed to hear this today! Much love to you, Emily! 🥰 Bless you to be able to get up every day and fight on!!
I really love this!!
This is so sublimely powerful. Thank you so much. 🙏🏽💛
Thank you for telling us your story. I have been going through a rough patch as well and I really needed to hear this. God bless you.
Service is key. This is a powerful reminder for me.
I love this video and this series.
This was an amazing video and how much our heavenly father really needs his children to listen to him 💯 💙 it!
We don't listen to God enough!!
Thank you so much for sharing this.
Hence: why God asks us to serve..
When we do, we have little time for pity parties, AND we get to help bless others. It's a WIN-WIN 🎉
This was perfect for me!! Thanks Emily Farmer!
I’m grateful that I watched this :)
My Perspective on trials has changed!
I'm sorry to all the people who really need to hear this. My daughter was hit by a car and it almost destroyed me.
I'm so sorry. I can't even imagine the heartache you went through.
Thank you!
Oh my gosh I love this so much. Thank you thank you.
Love the quote a lot! Thanks for sharing your story. It's what makes us all better & closer people.
Why would anyone dislike this lol . Beautiful story
I appreciate this young lady sharing her story.
This is such a great message. Thank you!!!
i work at a nursing home and sometimes i feel like the residents are blessing my life more than i’m blessing theirs.
Thank You, Jesus! Hallelujah! This is really Heart motivating, thank you for sharing! God Bless! Emmanuel!
Beautiful message. Thank you for sharing
The Gospel makes sense of suffering better than anything else.
If I can go to church, I can go out and serve as much as I have energy. And then do at home, what I should do to make life better here….until I can find a more permanent place.
I was having a really hard time, this gave me the strength i needed to continue forward.
Things truly come to you when you are in most need of it.
Hi Isaure, thanks for your comment. We're glad this video have helped you feel the Savior's love and find the strength you needed.
Love this. Thanks for listening to that prompting.
What a beautiful story, thank you for sharing! May you be the one to help another till a hundred also!
I remembered I was afraid of satan and hell for the longest time. I have sinned before and I am not afraid to say it. I tried every day for a year to get over the guilt of my sins and get satan out of my head. I kept hearing in my head "god left you" "God doesn't love you." "God is sending you to hell.." I fought back and just that same day every single day, I broke down crying praying to the Lord to save my soul. This leads up to me having depression and having random breakdowns. after months and months of praying and repenting. The Lord saved me over time, chased satan away, and here I stand loving god. I found his beauty and grace in little steps and sometimes big just like she did. I am now 14 and still running and living my life to the best with the lord by my side. Love the Lord and God will all your heart, for they love you with theres. Amen. 🙏
Aww I’m sorry you when through that I completely understand because I when through something similar a while back. Are you doing ok now?
I’m loving these weekly videos! I listen to them while I get ready for church and it really helps to prepare me to be in the right frame of mind 🥰
That was an AMAZING story!! love these videos each week and appreciate the people willing to share their stories
What a wonderful experience! Thank you for sharing
You are so sweet and what a wonderful goal you used to get yourself going. I too had a TBI 5 years ago and it was so debilitating for a long time. I too felt like why me and had gifts stripped from me due to the accident. The Lord has guided me 5 years later to a treatment that is helping, but not before I learned my own lessons along the way. Bless you for making a difference in his life, and your own❤️
What a beautiful statement !
I LOVE THIS. THANK YOU ❤😢
This is everything!
I needed this so badly.
Our Heavenly fathers with us everyday no matter what if we're having bad days or good days he's there listening wondering what we're going to do with our lives and he's wondering what we're going to do to change to the better going on the wrong path or change that to the good path but he's there no matter how you put it he forgives if you could forgive and do the right thing not Lord Jesus Christ is there too they're both wants us to do the better things in our life as we grow Define ourselves in this world
Thank you for your comment, Homer. Heavenly Father's and Christ's love for us is limitless.
Thank you for this.
Thank you. I have stage 4 spinal cancer . I'm very strong and faithful and this added to my learning. Judith
I remember first hearing this story on the This Is the Gospel podcast. It's so wonderful!
I loved this video and the way she told the story, so charming.
Beautiful!
We can only learn and grow through our trials. Generally the trials are difficult times, but they bring us to our knees
I really needed this today. Thank you
Thank you
Thank you lord Jesus Christ amen 🙏
It was the trial that put the light in your eyes. He tries and perfects those who he needs and loves most. I know this too be true.
i love this, this is beautiful
Thank you
You've helped more than you know
This is such a great message!
Loved the quote from Mac!
Just beautiful! Thank you, sweet sister. 🕊
I love it!!
Ok can I just say that was a very inspiring message and its showed so much about how we can help others, but also, I absolutely love her hair! so gorgeous!
this is a beautiful video!
I needed to see this thank you for sharing ♥️🙏🏽
What a beautiful story 🦋🌺. Thanks for sharing🙏🙏🙏
That same thing happened when I was flying two sons across country in a small aircraft. I was prompted to land, but explained it away, but the voice came a second time louder, so I landed at the next airport. Checking fuel, we were out! I'm so glad I listened to that still, small voice that was increasing in intensity the second time! We all three still have a pulse. Must be a purpose...
Beautiful..!! 😍
Very beautiful !!
Beautiful story!
Thank you Jesus, Amen!!
It’s that simple. If God truly cared about me he wouldn’t have let it happen. I’m tired of the excuses.
Thanks for your comment. We're sorry you're hurting. It can be difficult to understand why God allows bad things to happen, or how he can allow people to hurt and harm others. We don’t have all the answers, but we know that using God-given agency, we chose to come to earth for the opportunity to experience mortality and ultimately become more like our Heavenly Father, knowing and accepting it would involve pain and difficulty. God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to save us from our sins and help us find meaning and happiness despite life’s trials.

Thankyou for a powerful touching,truth
Love it!
What an awesome example you are!
Excellent!!
