Be Not Afraid


Yesterday was probably the best of my Sabbath days that I can remember. Our Sacrament Hymn set the mood: A thought came to my mind, Have we magnified our Fathers Will? I proceeded to sing these words: Behold the great Redeemer die, a broken law to satisfy. He dies a sacrifice for sin, that man may live and glory win. While guilty men his pains deride. Although in agony he hung, no murmuring word escaped his tongue. His high commission to fulfill. He magnified his Fathers will. He dies a sacrifice for our sins. Oh how we are so truly Blessed as a people of this Great Nation!!
I was reminded that our Leaders in our stake have not only been chosen but they themselves have chosen to live their lives in such a way so that they may lead us buy the spirit.
And as I tried to follow the scriptures that this speaker spoke about, it happened. I was taken to the scripture that at this time My kind and gracious Father gave me the message I most needed to hear:
Mosiah 4:27 And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run raster than he has strength. And again, it is expedient that he should be diligent, that thereby he might win the price; therefore, all things must be done in order.
For my testimony is that Jesus is the Christ and I belong to the true church where the priesthood once again is on this earth and that I am grateful for a young man, a prophet of God Joseph Smith who was brave and diligent enough to restore the gospel for all those who seek the truth and knowledge and that we are still blessed today to have a living Prophet Thomas S Monson to lead and guide us in these latter days so we can return to our Heavenly Father. I hope and I pray that we will continue to seek this knowledge and become worthy to work in Gods Temples and help complete thy work. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
