The Lord has faced it all, and more!
He knows each thing that man can do
And sees ahead what lies in store
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, Jehovah of the Old Testament, and the Messiah of the New Testament. He died and was resurrected, and He lives in glory with our Eternal Father.As a result of our Savior’s atoning sacrifice, death, and resurrection we become the beneficiaries of His mercy and grace. In a world of trouble and uncertainty, His peace can fill our hearts and ease our minds. Jesus is in very deed “the way, the truth, and the life” for God’s children everywhere (John 14:6).At this Easter season we give our sure witness that Jesus is the Christ. Though He was crucified, He rose triumphant from the tomb to our everlasting blessing and benefit. He stands as our Advocate and Savior. He has done for all mankind that which no other could have done. God be thanked for the gift of His Beloved Son, our Savior, the Redeemer of the world, the Lamb without blemish who was offered as a sacrifice for all mankind.Thomas S. Monson

To the poor in spirit
He says, "Come unto me."
And those with faith will heed Him
If they have eyes to see
As then the way is shown
Out and up from the despair
Because our needs are known
For He walked that path with care.
"When He says to the poor in spirit, “Come unto me,” He means He knows the way out and He knows the way up. He knows it because He has walked it. He knows the way because He is the way."—Jeffrey R. Holland, "Broken Things to Mend" Topics: Jesus Christ |
"I testify of Jesus Christ as the Master Healer."—Russell M. Nelson, "Jesus Christ—the Master Healer" Topics: Jesus Christ |
"There will be days ... when your hearts are heavy and your heads hang down. Then, please remember, Jesus Christ, the Redeemer, is the Head of this Church. It is His gospel. He wants you to succeed. He gave His life for just this purpose."—Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Have We Not Reason to Rejoice?" Topics: Jesus Christ |
He entered the city like a king
On a donkey reserved just for him
They welcomed the changes He would bring
Of the scriptures they weren't foreign
King David had received such a coronation
Many generations ago
Through him, they knew one would come to save the nation
And the donkey symbolized peace to know!
Don't let terror
Rob you of faith
Death's no error
God's power's great
I started imagining angels surrounding the people in the airport and the subway in Brussels... As the the terrorists worked to cause as much fear and casualties as possible, God called some home, brought some to safety, and pulled us together in compassion for the victims. Look for the miracles and have faith. Man is limited in what he can do to prevent horror. God knew what was going to happen. Evil is selfish and abandons itself. I keep wondering about the third man, the suicide vest abandoned, and the undetonated suitcase. The day could have been worse. Did he intend to do that? Was he just leading the others to do his work? Or, did he decide against it? Think of his family? Did he look around and see kindness, innocence, love?
It is easier to find yourself
When you put selfishness behind
And look to be a source of help
As there is more of you to find
Measure success with your hand and heart
Achieve well for a higher end
Life's problems lighten. Lessons impart
As blessings from on high descend
A fresh perspective will grow and bloom
In the light of love you'll feel
The miracle of service opens room
To know that love from God is real
I am reading Finding Your Life by Elder D. Todd Christofferson in the March Ensign 2016
He talks about being in tune with and savoring the things of God taking up one's cross and losing one's life as the way to finding an abundant and eternal life.
"He that finethhis life shall lose it:and he that loseth it for my sake shall find it." Matthew 10:39
Listen to your conscience.
Let Christ's light teach you anew.
Strive to be more honest.
Share what this does for you.
When we offend God in our sinful state
We estrange ourselves and Him forsake
We take pride's path that avoids His Love
And deny ourselves of strength from above
https://www.lds.org/general-conference/1982/04/gods-love-for-us-transcends-our-transgressions?lang=eng
Cease to do evil
And work to do well
Be the Lord's people
In purity dwell
Isaiah 1:16
Read
Take God's word within
Let it be a part of you
Let His love begin
To restore your soul anew
Meditate and pray
Formulate your thoughts
And shape a private prayer
Share how you've been taught
Confess all your needs of care
Contemplate your role
What causes call to you?
Where do you feel concern?
Ponder what you can do
With your covenants connect
Humbly lay your soul bare
Listen and reflect
Feel God's power there
Be impassioned with what Is in Christ"s heart. Love, serve, teach
Some of the greatest things you can come to know
Are only gained through experience
As you stretch in the struggle, you grow
And mature to sense life's variance
11 cor
Forced to question who i really am
I knew there was much to self examine and leave behind
That irresponsible way I act
Is a wall to the maturity I want to find
Studying only goes so far
To awaken who you really are
Exercising faith shapes your soul
To become a spiritual star
Stand tall and firm like that rock
The river can't wash away
You've a higher path to walk
The Lord will show you the way
We're fasting for America
The once "land of the free"
For we need a miracle
To save our liberty
"Our Savior ... knows our struggles, our heartaches, our temptations, and our suffering, for He willingly experienced them all as an essential part of His Atonement. And because of this, His Atonement empowers Him to succor us—to give us the strength to bear it all."—Dallin H. Oaks, "Strengthened by the Atonement of Jesus Christ" Topics: Atonement |
"God will take you as you are at this very moment and begin to work with you. All you need is a willing heart, a desire to believe, and trust in the Lord."—Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "It Works Wonderfully!" Topics: Faith |
