Faith

 

In the Book of Mormon, Alma is clear full of amazing counsel. In chapter 32 he challenges us to arouse and awaken out Faith then compares faith as a seed. The process which it describes is clearly spelt out as S.E.E.D is verse 28. It will first "Swell within your breast", then "Enlarge my soul", "Enlighten my understanding", then become "Delicious". It is an easy symbol that we can remember the process that happens as we "grow" our Seed of Faith. 

Faith just like a Seed needs to be fed. If we do not take care of it by watering it or feeding our faith it it slowly wither away. 

Alma 32:38 "But if ye neglect the tree, and take no thought for its nourishment, behold it will not get any root; and when the heat of the sun cometh and scorcheth it, because it hath no root it withers away."

It is so important that we continue to feed out faith and grow our testimonies so that it will not wither away.

After the Storm

What if you were at the end of your rope? The only option that you had was to give up and quit moving forward. Then tragedy strikes and it does get worse! You loose everything; your home, your belongings. Everything except the clothes on your back. What would you do? This is exactly what happened to a family in 2013. This video is about loss but also hope and courage.  Our Heavenly Father loves us and knows us. He knows what we can handle emotionally, spiritually, physically, and mentally. Everyone has challenges and it is up to us to endure to the end and even beyond that. He also wants us to become like Him and through these challenges it will polish our rough edges and let our gems shine. I have felt His love many times through out my life even in my darkest hours. You are a Child of God as well and I hope that you can find that Hope in your life to endure to the end as well.
