The Lord spoke soo clearly to me today “Why do tears continue to feel your eyes over something I promised is already yours?”
“Because it hurts Heavenly Father and it doesn’t make any sense.” His response to me was, “Isn’t this what the atonement is there for? Isn’t this what my son died for? That even in the midst of darkness, you would have clear understanding that I am the Lord, your God and I will be with you. That through me all things are made possible. Even the very things that seem hopeless. What has my promise been to you?”
As I let the spirit fill me and truly heed His words, peace found me and frustration left me. I decided to make the choice and finally let it go, because what is meant for me will always find me, be valiant and fight for me and will never pass me by. He has promised me and shown me so many things and I am making the choice to forget what I’ve been led to believe by the enemy and have full faith in all my Father has promised me.
I’ve decided to choose today that my future will bo hopeful. I will continue to exercise my faith and despite what anyone thinks, I will keep going and believing in all my Father has promised me. I know each time I enter His home He confirms each and all of His promises to me. I am so thankful for the temple, the true house of the Lord. Please go, make that a goal of yours. The peace you feel and the reassurance given is as if He is sitting right beside you.
Heavenly Father held me in my weeping and said no more. Why? Because He knows what’s coming. He knows restoration is mine, my family is saved and covered from all plans of the enemy. He reminds me of the scripture, “the pain you’ve felt, does not compare to the joy that is coming.” So do not weep in sadness, weep in joy that my promises to you will come to pass as you continue to nurture your testimony and water your garden of faith.
Many things in our life can feel like a route change, a landslide on the road in which you’re traveling.. This can be infuriating because it delays us. However, I’ve learned that a delay can really just mean a temporary stop at a beautiful location. When I became a mother at nineteen years old, I felt hopeless. When I lost my son, I felt hopeless. When my divorce finalized, I felt hopeless… These things changed my route, but as he promised, my temporary stop/detour would be beautiful and my faith would be restored. The work of my Heavenly Father was everywhere in these moments.
I became a mother at a young age and we’ve struggled, but my little girl is one of the strongest little prayer warriors and is a threat to the enemy. My divorce wrecked me, but is the very reason my faith is so big and bold as it is, and I truly know unconditional love now. What it requires, what it means, and what God wants for me. Losing my son, not something I felt I could recover from… However I receive confirmation after confirmation He is with my Father and in the best hands possible. When the warmth of the sunshine touches my back, I know it is him
All things the enemy sent to break me, are the very things that saved me. They are the reason I have such a strong testimony and believe in everything my Father has promised me. Some may call me a visionary woman based on my beliefs, but to be called visionary is not an insult. Lehi was spoken of harshly, but it was because of his beliefs and exercising his faith he lead his family into the wilderness. Away from harm.
So choose today, to have faith in what could be. Love, true Christlike love holds no records of wrongs, it is forgiving. Choose to be like Christ, and love another as He commands of us. Even if it’s scary, even if someone has harmed you, choose to love them today. Love them, because that is what He asks of us. Make the choice today to love, to be like our Savior, and forgive. Forgiving is not an easy thing when someone has hurt you so deeply. I found myself asking for almost a year, “How, how on earth can I forgive something like this?” His answer is one I will never forget.
“You will forgive them in all the ways I have forgiven you.”
That's all there is to it. Just forgive, love, and choose eternal happiness.
Choose your family.
It is not a one time thing it is a continuous choice to unto him. Obey all his commandments and make him the center of your life.
Make the choice today to choose Him, His plan, and His will.
