Come Unto Christ

My dear family and friends, I cannot express how I feel. I know that our Savior, Jesus Christ, Loves you all so very much. You are all great in His sight. It does not matter what what trials you have already faced, or what you might be facing right now, our Savior is there for you. He is waiting to lift you up, bring you comfort, heal your broken heart, wipe away every falling tear, and wrap his arms around you. When ever you may need Him, He's the one you're looking for. So let Him in, and He will take away your pain. When you feel His love you'll never be the same. Come unto Christ. Come unto Him, and by His grace be made holy again. He's calling your name. He's waiting for you with arms open wide. Come unto Christ.

"The words “come unto Christ” are an invitation. It is the most important invitation you could ever offer to another person. It is the most important invitation anyone could accept." -By President Henry B. Eyring

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." -Matthew 11:28-30

You Are Important, and Needed

The Lord has said, "Wherefore, now let every man learn his duty, and to act in the office in which he is appointed, in all diligence. He that is slothful shall not be counted worthy to stand, and he that learns not his duty and shows himself not approved shall not be counted worthy to stand. Even so. Amen." -Doctrine & Covenants 107:99-100

Sister Marjorie Hinckley said: “Oh, how we need each other. Those of us who are old need you who are young. And, hopefully, you who are young need some of us who are old."

Let us all reach out to those around us, young and old, friends and family. Lets love them and treat them as the Savior would. Do not be afraid to reach out to those around you and share how the Gospel has blessed your life.

Have You done Any Good In the World Today?

Have you taken the time to help someone in need? Have you done any good in the world today? I know that service to others makes a true difference and can change peoples lives. Lift up your head and be of good cheer, reach out to those in need and lose yourself in the Lords work.

"I believe the Savior is telling us that unless we lose ourselves in service to others, there is little purpose to our own lives. Those who live only for themselves eventually shrivel up and figuratively lose their lives, while those who lose themselves in service to others grow and flourish—and in effect save their lives." -President Thomas S. Monson
"Therefore, prepare ye the way of the Lord, for the time is at hand that all men shall reap a reward of their works, according to that which they have been—if they have been righteous they shall reap the salvation of their souls, according to the power and deliverance of Jesus Christ; and if they have been evil they shall reap the damnation of their souls, according to the power and captivation of the devil." -Alma 9:28
"But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.....Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." -James 1:22, 27

We Cannot Serve Two Masters

“We have a commitment to serve our Lord. We have an assurance that the cause is just and worthy. But, above all, we have a knowledge that God lives and is in His Heavens and that His Son Jesus Christ has laid out a plan for us which will bring us and our loved ones eternal life if we are faithful. That life will be a busy, purposeful life with accomplishments and joys and development.” -President Spencer W. Kimball
