It seems like Mondays come and go so fast!
Honestly not much has happened this week, and things here at
the site has started to slow down a little.
So, because the site has been a little slower I have been
able to do a lot of pondering and the thought and idea of forsaking has been on
my mind a lot.
My older brother told me to read Matthew 19:29 which says,
"And every one that hath forsake houses, or brethren, or sisters, or
father, or mother, of wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall
receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life."
I have grown to love this scripture and love the promise
that if we leave behind the things he asks us for His name's sake He promises
us everlasting life. In our mission calls he also gives us another amazing
promise that says, " As you devote your time and attention to serving the
Lord, leaving behind all other personal affairs, the Lord will bless you with
increased knowledge and testimony of the Restoration and of the truths of the
gospel of Jesus Christ."
I have seen it truly become true because while I have
devoted my time and attention to serving my Savior and been diligent in these
things my testimony has been strengthened so much! I have especially seen my
knowledge and testimony of the Restoration and of the truths of the gospel of
Jesus Christ increase.
I have come to know for myself that Joseph Smith is the
prophet of the restoration and that he was able to translate the Book of
Mormon. And I wouldn't trade anything for these experiences and for the
knowledge and testimony that I have received to get those things that I have
given up back.
So what can you forsake in your life for Jesus Christ? What
can you give up to have these promised blessings of everlasting life and an
increased knowledge and testimony of our Savior?
I hope that you can find something you love to the God you
love even more.
Have an amazing week y'all!
