The Hope of God's Light




Today satan did everything in his power to keep me from church. I had been asked to give a prayer in sacrament, and had decided that I would bare my testimony, because it was my last week. I woke up sick. I could barely get out of bed. I began to come up with a million reasons why I couldn't go to church. I finally started feeling better, when my anxiety set in. I was in tears. I planned what I was going to say to the member of the bishopric about not coming. I set there quietly for a moment, and jumped up. I was not going to let satan win. There was a reason I needed to be at church, and satan did not want me to hear what was intended for me. I got ready, got in my car and headed to church. The moment I walked into the building I felt an overwhelming feeling of peace. I did not feel sick, and my anxiety almost immediately left. Every testimony that was shared applied to me, and my situation. I met with my sweet bishop for the last time, and watched a miracle happen as he prayed. My father in heaven knew me. He loved me. He was providing me with strength. My prayers were being answered. It wasn't a clear "KENZIE DO THIS" answer, it was an answer I heard because I had faith, and had turned it all to my savior. The video above was shown to us during relief society. How fitting, humbling and amazing. I would like to add my testimony to that of Todd's from the video. The savior is there ALWAYS. We need to leave the darkness, and allow him to fill our rooms with light. He loves us. Trust him. Turn to him. When you begin to love yourself and let God love you, your life will change. We each have a purpose. We are here to be beacons of light for those around us. Remember why you are here.. Why fight so hard against something you once fought so hard for?

God needs us on his side TODAY!

Love always,

K
