I just love
conference so much and I am pretty much still on a conference high, so you may
be getting my notes from my person study on conference for the next couple of
weeks haha. But anyways, I was reading President Monson's talk that he gave in
the Sunday morning session this week and something really stood out to
me.
He quoted this
poem
I met a stranger
in the night
Whose lamp had
ceased to shine.
I paused and let
him light
His lamp from
mine.
A tempest sprang
up later on
And shook the
world about.
And when the wind
was gone
My lamp was out!
But back to me the
stranger came
His lamp was
glowing fine!
He held the
precious flame
And lighted mine!
I love the 2nd and
3rd stanzas in this poem. there are so many times in our lives that our light
dims that the trials we go through leave us questioning and our testimonies are
shaken. There will be times that we think we can't go on anymore. But if we turn
to our Savior He will relight our flame. We read in John 8:12 "[He is] the
light of the world; he that followeth [Him] shall not walk in darkness but
shall have the light of life."
If we constantly
reconcile ourselves with the Savior He will share his light with us and help us
regain our footing. He will help us hold to the iron rod so that our light
doesn't dim again. So that when our tempest comes again we will be able to have
our light burning at the end of it. Because He is our light. In Matthew 5:14 it
says "let your light so shine..." Let your testimony of the Savior
shine. Share it with others. Help them to come to Christ so that he can share
His light with them. We can help others find their light through Christ. We can
do that because our light is ultimately His. He is the light of the world.
Sorry it's so
short today but I just want each of you to know how much I love my Savior and
how much He has strengthened me and he can strengthen you if you are willing to
turn your will over to Him.
Love you all!! and
if you haven't had the chance to reread/read the priesthood session of
conference, in particular the talk Faith is not by chance by by choice do
so right now. it is seriously AMAZINGLY powerful!! Have the best day ever!
