Join The Glorious Symphony

It's easy to think that not everyone is needed and that you have nothing to offer other people, let alone the Church. Please remember that everyone has a purpose and as we seek Heavenly Father, He will always guide us to learn our talents. As we share those with others, the most incredible thing happens; a glorious symphony!

Always know you're needed and loved.

Forgiveness To Faith

I can't help but think about those times where forgiving another person can be hard and something that anger seems to "help us through". I had a similar situation where I found myself wishing another person who feel as sad and angry as I did because they had done something that bothered me and affected by entire family. 

I went up to my room fuming. I sat on my bed and immediately decided I didn't want to have those feelings. The spirit calmed me down and told me to pray and read my scriptures. I humbled myself while I told my Heavenly Father everything that bothered me and why I was hurting so badly. He quickly reassured me that I didn't know the whole story and that it didn't matter if I did. Regardless, I needed to forgive and have faith.

The chapter I read was Ether 12. How quickly the spirit bore witness of the need to have faith and that Heavenly Father knew the circumstances my family was struggling with and that He was the one who could fix it, if I had faith to. I also felt that I couldn't have faith if I was allowing myself to be consumed with anger. As I attempted to put myself in their shows, I realized it wasn't worth these negative emotions and immediately I had greater faith in the knowledge that He knows what's best and will be there to give support.

Before we reach to hold grudges and allow ourselves to be stuck in a state of anger, remember that forgiveness to faith is much more powerful!
