Actually, I don't have much to say anyway, so it's okay!! Just that this week I have reaffirmed my testimony of the reality of our Savior Jesus Christ. Of His perfect life He led. There is a little Christmas video we have been sharing with lots of people of president Thomas S. Monson talking, and it asks us what we are going to give to Christ this Christmas. Well. I am going to give my very time, talents, wants, desires and wishes. I am going to sacrifice myself to His work and Glory so that I might be the means of bringing one soul unto repentance and unto HIM. I am so in LOVE with this time of year. We get to forget ourselves and serve and love others and feel the real, true love our Savior has for us!!! What a perfect time of year. :) Also to remember the inspired words of Jewel, "IN THE END, ONLY KINDNESS MATTERS." So.
BE KIND. :)
Also, speaking of Thomas S. Monson, I realized again just how logical and important and obvious it is to have a prophet hoy en dia. I have an unwavering testimony of this. There is a talk from last conference called JOSEPH SMITH that I invite EVERYONE to read. It's perfect. ALSO! The light and truth talk by Uchdtorf. I LOVE CONFERENCE! I still am studying it everyday haha.
Anyway....
I feel like when people don't believe in a modern prophet, or cannot accept the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith, they are virtually doubting the Bible and God Himself. It is so CLEAR that God loves us. He did in times of old, and he does now. He says multiple times that he is "the same yesterday, today and forever" and IF this is true, IF he is not a God of lies, then it is so obvious that today, with more wickedness, perversion, confusion and doubt, there is need for a prophet to lead and guide God's children safely back home to Him.
And, I tesify that there is. Joseph Smith, in reality saw God the father and His son Jesus Christ, translated the Book of Mormon, which is ANOTHER testament of Jesus Christ, and because of this, we have the fullness of the everlasting gospel restored to this earth. We have the answers to so many people's questions and doubts and confusions! We have a prophet TODAY who speaks directly to God and lets us know what we need to do to inherit eternal life with God. HOW COOL IS THAT!? If anyone in the whole wide world wants to know this, please, follow the invitation in the introduction to the Book of Mormon. This truth is in reach of EVERY child of God.
Well. I am out of time. I LOVE JESUS CHRIST, I love prophets of old and our beloved prophet Thomas S. Monson. I love Christmas and everything that comes with it!!
What are YOU going to give our Savior this CHRISTmas??
With all my love,
With all my love,
