So, we were
teaching a recent convert yesterday and he quoted Rocky and I felt that it was
completely appropriate for this weeks email. haha
This week I
learned that there truly is opposition in all things. And not only is there
opposition but the greater the challenge the greater the blessing. That because
there is opposition the opposition and the blessing at hand have to equal in
magnitude. Think about Joseph Smith and before he had the first vision think of
the opposition that be-fronted him. Think about Moses and after He was visited
by the Father of the temptation the came.
It is true
in our lives as well. I think of the month before I entered the MTC and I was
convinced I was not going. The challenge was just too great, but then the
blessings that have come from serving a mission. I wouldn't want to be anywhere
else. This week was no different. The challenge almost seemed impossible but as
the week went on the greater the miracles appeared.
All transfer we
have struggled with finding investigators and we have tried everything that
seemed possible. Trials just kept coming and we worked as hard as we could and
still nothing. I could feel that there was an amazing blessing right around the
corner so we would keep working and keep trying harder and harder and still
nothing. Nothing was happening. I realized something. I realized that it was in
those moments that Satan was trying to get me to stop. It was then that Satan
knew what blessing was right around the corner and he didn't want them to come.
He was expecting us to quit and doing everything possible to get us to. Those
blessing are too great and are going to benefit us beyond our comprehension and
he knew that. He knew that those blessings would come to be "an annoyer of
his kingdom" (JSH1:20)
In life we need to
remember that. In those moments that we want to give up and say "This is
just too hard, I can't do it anymore." Those are the moments that we need
to continue on. Those are the moments we need to get on our knees and pray our
hearts out for strength and then get on our feet and go to work. Those are the
times when it matters most whose team you're on. I promise the blessings come.
They always have and they always will. They have for me and I know that they
will for you.
My favorite line
in the hymn I believe in Christ is "I believe in Christ, so
come what may" I believe in Christ so hit me with all you've got. As long
as we remember that we can overcome everything. We are gonna have trials and
struggles and hardships but if we remember whose side we are one we will know
that He never leaves us alone. He never deserts us. He is there with us through
it all and the blessing will be as equal as the trial. If you feel like you're
at that breaking moment keep going. Don't give in. There are blessings beyond
our comprehension waiting for you.
LOVE YOU ALL!
