Enduring Hope- October 27, 2014

Family and Friends!

It is so good to back here again sharing our stories with eachother. First of all I want to thank each of you for all of the support and love that you all have so freely. Thank you for all of the prayers and emails each week! 

This week has a been a week full of hope. Hope that others can change, hope that miracles happen, even a theme of hope as I read the scriptures. Something that I have learned lately is that hope is essential in our lives. It comes through the Atonement and Grace of Jesus Christ. We have an enduring and powerful hope through the Savior. The addict, the wanderer, the depressed, the happy, the hopeless, the optomist, and the pessimist all have the assurance of eternal hope because of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We all have the hope to change our lives around. We all have the hope for a better tomorrow. 

I had the oppurtunity to finish the Book of Mormon once again. And once again the Spirit reafirmed to me that it is the word of God alongside the Bible. In the final pages of the Book of Mormon the prophet Moroni testifies about the neccessity of hope and that it all comes from the Savior Jesus Christ!

 40 And again, my beloved brethren, I would speak unto youconcerning hope. How is it that ye can attain unto faith, save yeshall have hope?

 41 And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this  because of your faith in him according to the promise.

 42 Wherefore, if a man have faith he must needs have hope; for  without faith there cannot be any hope.

 43 And again, behold I say unto you that he cannot have faith andhope, save he shall be meek, and lowly of heart.

May we all remember to have hope in every moment. You and I can all pull through the roughest moments of life because we have a Savior that gives us enduring and eternal hope! Never loose hope!

Remember the Lord loves you and the Church is True!
