Happy Monday Everyone!

Hey guys! I hope you all had an awesome weekend. I just wanted to share what I learned in Seminary today that I think is really important. So we were discussing our next Scripture Mastery. For those of you who don't know what Scripture Mastery is it's just specific scriptures found in the Bible or the Book of Mormon that we try to memorize so that if we are ever struggling in life we can think back on a scripture mastery that uplifts us and makes us feel better. The Scripture Mastery verses are chosen by the Prophet and his apostles. It's super awesome. Anyway so we were talking about D&C 18:10-11 which says "Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God; For, behold, the Lord your Redeemer suffered death in the flesh; wherefore he suffered the pain of all men, that all men might repent and come unto him." This scripture is spectacular and I love it. There are many different lessons you could get from this scripture, but I think the most important lesson is that God loves us. Jesus Christ is our Savior and KNOWS us and LOVES us. He wants us to be safe. Our Heavenly Father loves us too. They both watch over us and protect us everyday. In Seminary we try to look for little mercy moments in our everyday lives. I challenge everyone to look for little mercy moments in your lives. You can find so many. I know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is true. One night I prayed to know if everything I had learned in my life about the gospel was true and I got this amazing feeling. All I can remember is just knowing that there is a Heavenly Father up in Heaven who is watching us and a Savior, even Jesus Christ, who suffered for all of us so that we could repents of our sins. Please don't ever think it's too late to repent. It's never too late. I really want people to know that there is a God up in Heaven that loves us and cares about us. Ever since I've made this blog more viral I've thought a lot about what I want to say to people who are reading this blog. I just want to say NEVER GIVE UP! YOU CAN DO IT! Life is so hard. It is. I mean I have school, church, family, and friend responsibilities. I know that there are those of you out there who are dealing with parents getting divorced, siblings leaving the church, loved ones going on missions, loved ones dying, losing your job, loved ones committing suicide, and loved ones abused. The list could go on and on. I just want to tell you DON'T GIVE UP! PLEASE DON'T! You are so strong. You can make it. If you need to talk to someone talk to a friend, counselor, sibling, children, etc. But always remember that your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, be there for YOU. Never think that he will ever leave you because he won't. He is ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU! Pray to him and he will help you. The answer may not always come immediately, but you WILL be helped. I promise you. Just remember God LOVES you. He wants to bless you. If you are trying so hard keep trying. Just keep climbing. KEEP THE FAITH! NEVER GIVE UP! Life is so worth it. Be nice to everyone you meet. I know if we do these things we can be blessed and be happier which is exactly what Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ want. I hope you guys have a FANTASTIC week. And don't forget to look for those little Mercy Moments! :)
