There is Hope

by Emily Freeman

……..after the greatest trial comes the greatest gratitude. Gratitude for the One who prepares the way. If you are in the midst of a great trail, “seek this Jesus.”  (Ether 12:41)

The One who encourages us to build, to perform great works, to prove ourselves worthy and obedient.  Who offers solutions, who encourages us to search for ourselves and find the answers we long for.

Seek this Jesus, who will not let you cross the water in darkness, who will prepare the way before you, who knows what you have been through, who knows what is still to come.

The One who allows the trial because He knows the blessings that will follow.

The One who will show you the greater things, who will bring the unspeakable gifts.

The One who leads us to the promise.

“Seek this Jesus.”

(Ether 12:41)

And seek the peace …… and pray unto the Lord for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.

For thus saith the Lord….. I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you….

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord,

thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.*

And there is hope in thine end,* saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border.

Jer. 31:17

On the days when our faith may not be enough, on those days you hope!

Hope is strong it can give you strength, it is enduring, it is eternal.

 

 

Do not questions too much, dear friend, for God who ordained the beginning

 

can safely be trusted with the end, as well as with all that lies in between.
