He
is my Savior, my Rock. It doesn't matter what is going on in the world, He
always brings me peace. when I pray, when I read a verse in the scriptures, or
when I just think about Him. He feels my soul with peace. Sadly, I have seen
people not just leave the church left and right but stop believing that there
is a God and a Savior of the world.
My sister left the church almost a year ago, and she did not
go out quiet about it. She made sure that everyone knew that she left and why
she left. A few weeks later, she stops believing that there is a God.
This year, I have thought about my own testimony, not only of
the church, not only of the Book of Mormon which I love so much, but of my
Savior. I have wondered what I know about Him. Of course, there are things that
I don't know about Him, or that I don't remember about Him because of the veil,
but this I know, that He is the Rock. If you build your foundation upon the
Rock, nothing else matters. Really, nothing else matters.
I know it can be difficult for some people to know that there
truly is someone out there that knows what you are going through. I want to
tell you that there is someone out there that knows and He is Jesus Christ.
The world is a messy place, but Christ said, "I have
conquered the world." I feel that this phrase is more than a statement,
it's an invitation to trust in Him and to trust in His power.
Sometimes people may say to you, "know that you are
never alone." I think sometimes, it's ok to be alone, uncomfortable, or
even to feel that the Holy Spirit left us. Even Christ was alone for a moment,
He even said, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Please know
that if you ever feel alone, or if you feel uncomfortable or even without the
Holy Spirit, know that it will only be for a moment. Christ did something so
amazing when He was alone; when He felt alone. So, know that we can also
experience the most amazing and humbling experiences in our own Gethsemane.
Know that at that very moment you are being exalted. This too shall pass
and the person that knows how you feel will be there, with His arms
extended.
