The Simplicity of the Gospel

General Conference was so cool yesterday!!!!! Y'all should watch it (and if you've already seen it, watch it again). I love how simple and straight forward it all was. That's my favorite thing about the gospel: it is simple and straightforward. As we follow Jesus Christ we will be blessed in this life and in the next. I know that He lives and loves you. I know that He completed the Atonement for you, individually. I know that everything happens for a reason, even if it doesn't make sense now, I know that God has reasons for everything. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Christ the Redeemer Lives!

"I know that my Redeemer lives. What comfort this sweet sentence gives! He lives, He lives who once was dead! He lives, my ever living head! He lives to bless me with His love! He lives to plead for me above! He lives, my hungry souls to feed! He lives to bless in time of need!" (I Know That My Redeemer Lives). I know Jesus Christ lives to wipe away your tears and heal you from the inside out. As you develop your faith in Him you know and love Him. As your faith grows, your desire to become like Him will also grow. As you exercise repentance and rely on Jesus Christ and the strength and healing He gives, you are able to come closer to Him. Through baptism you are cleansed of your sins. With the guidance of the Gift of the Holy Ghost, you are able to always have heavenly help any time you need it. As you take the sacrament worthily you get the privilege of having your sins washed away and get a fresh start to the week, just like being baptized and confirmed all over again. I know that as we do these things that the Savior and Heavenly Father will be proud of us and will support us in everything we do. I know He is the only way. I know that you can always come back, no matter what you've done. I say these things, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
