In A Hole?

Think of a time that you told a little lie to your parents, or some thing else that you knew was wrong. We start digging a hole for ourselves. I have heard of the quote. "The first Law of Holes. Is when in one, stop digging!" These small actions at the time may seem innocent and that it is no big deal. Though some people justify their actions. We need to realize that we often live far below our potential. Though we know we do. How do we correct that and come to the level we are capable of being at? The answer is actually really simple. "For the Lord God hath said that: Inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall prosper in the land..." That is the answer. Is to keep the commandments of God. Then shall we be blessed by the Lord. Now once we know what we must do to get out of the hole. How do we do it?
                               
I believe that we must rely on Christ. Who preformed the Atonement. He suffered for both you and I. He is "The way, The Truth, The Light." Might I add another, He is the ladder that allows us to progress upwards. He is the one who we must look to in our time of need. "No matter how Dark the night, the Dawn is always invincible." Christ is that shining light. Let him help in your time of need. Because He has already been there and suffered that.

Bad Day?

     "Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace. And your best days are never so good that you're beyond the need of God's grace."    This wonderful quote reminds me a lot a missionary who helped me become who I want to be. 
         It has shown me that no matter how many "bad" days that I have. I need to cherish them all. Because in those moments you see the lord's hand in your life.  What outstanding words that have been uttered. What an amazing insight. That we are never away from God so far that he can't simply reach out and touch our lives. I have seen this over and over again in my life. Also in other's lives. I know and add my witness that God lives and that he loves us. That we are never far away. He is always within reaching distance. I know that Hope is a real thing. 
                     I know that God loves us. And that if he have Hope. 
       All will be okay because we know that there is always another dawn.

The True Love of God

What better reference to use then a scriptural reference from the Master teacher on this subject of Love.
On one occasion an inquiring Lawyer of the law asked the savior,
"Master, which is the great commandment in the law?"
The Savior responded: "thou shalt love love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
"This is the first and great commandment.
"And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
What a terrific response! How clear he laid that answer out! Though some people do ask "Who is my neighbour?" It's the people you pass by everyday. Those people, who sometimes you honk your horn at cause they cut you off while driving, or whatever that case may be. I will say that if people followed that simple commandment that Christ himself gave. The world would not have 99.9% of the problems it has today. Though we face opposition in our lives, and we are faced with trials. We must, focus on that Love of God. If we will, but simply try to emulate his love and do as God would do. I know that things in life would be easier. I know of this because I have felt his love. I know that God is real, and that he loves and knows each and everyone of you. I also know that every single person in this world has the capactity to feel God's love for them. He does love you. When you think that all is lost and no one is there, pray, ask God that he might show unto you his love. He will if you seek after it. As I said once before. "Truely, the Love of God surpasseth all understanding"
