Accepting Inviting Our Role

blind, infirm, sick, leprous, lame, beggar...

The Savior loves us, no matter what!

He asks us to change, repent, and get better.

And, is there for us, in all we confront.

With devotion, we heed the gospel call

to be accepting, loving, and kind.

As we align to God's will and give our all

We shine His light for others to find.

"We should be “loving and compassionate” but we should never allow ourselves to believe that Christ just accepts us how we are. That was never in the program. He’s always asked us to change, to repent, to get better, and to overcome the things that we struggle with. When we quit trying to align our wills with God, and start trying to get God to align His will with ours…that is when we start to lose our way.

Matthew 12:30

He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
