Today in sacriment meeting, I was thinking about stuff, and writting in my journel. I was really worried about some things in my life. I was trying to think what I should do about these things. Then, out of no where, the Spirit came and said two very important things:

First: Everything will work out. Let me tell you, that assurence was a huge comfort. It's a huge testimony to me that the Lord is there, and that He loves us. The things that are important to us, are important to the Lord, simply because He loves us. When we follow Him, things will work out. Is that not just an amazing, comforting thought? All we have to do to make sure that things work out the best way they possibly can is follow the Lord. I think that's pretty dang awesome. :)

Second: Cast out your fear. Fear... there truely are few emotions that are as strong as fear. When we are physically afraid, it can paralyse us, and stop all action, thereby comfirming our fears. In a Spiritual sense, fear makes us doubt the Lord, and want to do things our way. Fear truely is the opposite of faith, and it can destroy us. When we are able to cast it out, I can testify that our capacity to do skyrockets! We are empowered beyond measure when we are acting strictly on faith.

The two principles above are a product of having faith. Faith is one of my favorite concepts ever, which is interesting, because it's hard for me to live. My personality wants to control everything around me; I don't like leaving things up to the Lord. But when I actually do, I cannot tell you how free I feel. There is a strength, a power, that comes from faith. This I can testify of.

There is my thought shpeel for today. Have a good sunday!
