Never Alone


Ever felt alone? Maybe like there is NO ONE who knows what your going through?
Here are a few comforting words from Helen Parker.

"Sometimes, Oh Lord, when I cannot pray,
I sit very still, with nothing to say.
But never-the-less, I know you are there;
You know that I'm troubled with things on my mind.

And you know I've been weak, so often unkind,
But your Spirit is with me,
Right here in this home;
And I know that I'm never walking alone."


I'm grateful to have the knowledge that Christ is always with us.
Notice the picture...
The lady who drew it is named Liz Lemon Swindle. When she drew it she kept looking in to his eyes. She thought to herself, "who is he looking for?" One day she realized. Maybe he is looking for me? Jesus Christ will never stop looking for us. No matter how far off the path we have wandered. He will always be looking for us to pick us up and carry us home. I hope this post helped you out a little bit.
I pray that we can realize that we never walk this life alone. "God sent his only begotten son....."

Finally, we Endure to the End!


The last part of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is called "endure to the end." Lets go through a quick review "just for fun." The first was Faith, then repentance, then Baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost. Good. I'm glad you didn't forget them. The last part of it is this thing called "endure to the end." So lets lay down a Scripture so you know I'm not just making this up. Matthew 24:13 states, "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." Here is another awesome one from 2nd Nephi Ch31:20 in the Book of Mormon. Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life. You see I'm not making this up. It's in the scriptures. So, How do we endure to the end? Well, after we make the covenant of baptism and get the gift of the Holy Ghost we continue to live the commandments our very best till the end. Heavenly Father knows the desires of our hearts and knows when we are doing our best. He is just sitting there waiting to bless us, all we gotta do is do our best. If were not 100% perfect after we make this convenat it's still ok. Just start over with faith in Christ. Then move on to Repentence, and strive to live the BEST you can. Christ will fill in our short comings if we come unto him. This scripture in Moroni Ch10:32 is exactly what I mean. "Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God." I know this to be true. I add my testimony once again that the Gospel Of Jesus Christ can really truly bring us Peace, at last. I strongly urge you to get in contact with your local missionaries. For you living in Canandaigua NY, I am that local missionary. Were here to help and to serve. Peace is there at your finger tips. Visit Mormon.org and get the missionaries. If your a member, Send this to your nonmember friends and keep enduring to the end! I love you all, my dear brothers and sisters.
