So, I don't know about all of you, but I've been thinking a lot about conference. But, how can you not when you've just been exposed to messages of wisdom for hours on end, right? So many powerful messages were spoken and I hope you all heard something you needed to hear. For some of us, those things may be hard to hear because reevaluation is in order, and for others of us there was comfort granted in a time when we thought there may have been none to feel. I'm so grateful all of these messages will be printed for our use to study and read. (It's hard to take it all in at once.) These messages can touch our hearts for the rest of our lives.
Because conference touches us on a very personal level, I don't want to get into what I thought the overall message was. That message is different for each of us. How amazing is that? Heavenly Father knows each of us individually. Not only that but he loves each of us individually. Personally, I felt an overwhelming need to tell my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ how much I love them in return. Of course they know where our heart is, but how often do they hear it with sincerity?
I do, however, want to reiterate the words of the song that opened the whole conference.
In every condition--in sickness, in health,
In poverty's vale or abounding in wealth,
At home or abroad, on the land or the sea--
As thy days may demand, as thy days may demand,
As thy days may demand, so thy succor shall be.
Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed,
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid.
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by my righteous, upheld by my righteous,
Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.
No matter who we are, where we are, or what we've been through, there is no need to fear. Our Savior will never forsake us.
When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not thee o'erflow,
When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply.
You can probably tell how much I love this song. "How Firm a Foundation" is the bright ray of sunshine I have to send to you today. In hopes that you will not forget that your Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love you. You are not forgotten.
Have a wonderful day!
Loves!
