Your Heavenly Father knows
that you will make mistakes. He knows that you will
stumble--perhaps many times. This saddens Him,
but He loves you. He does not wish to
break your spirit. On the contrary,
He desires that you rise up and become the person
you were designed to be. To that end, His Son
was sent to this earth to illuminate the
way and show us how to safely cross the
stumbling blocks placed in our path. He has given us the
gospel, which teaches the way of the disciple. It teaches us the
things we must know, do, and be to walk in
His light, following in the footsteps of His
Beloved Son, our Savior. Yes, we will make mistakes. Yes, we will falter. But as we seek to
increase our love for God and strive to love our neighbor,
the light of the gospel will surround and uplift us. The darkness will surely
fade, because it cannot exist in the presence of light. As we draw near to God,
He will draw near to us.
