Promise of a new dawn

 

“Somewhere in your quest for spiritual knowledge, there is that ‘leap of faith,’ as the philosophers call it. It is the moment when you have gone to the edge of the light and stepped into the darkness to discover that the way is lighted ahead for just a footstep or two.”

Boyd K. Packer

His work. I have been thinking about it all week now. The hastening. His timing. There is an energy that surges through my soul in the moments that I focus on it. He knows exactly what He is doing.  But do I?

There is work to be done.  The work that requires labor, burning the candle on both ends, giving up all. Sanctifying, and purifying, and cleansing. Prayer and fasting. The actions that lead to moments of true learning through His Spirit. Why? So that we will be prepared. Because He will call us.  He will send us.  There is a mission He has in store for each one of us. His hastening. His timing. His call. His mission.

Have you discovered what He has in mind for you?  The mission that you have been prepared for? Have you heard the call? We must remember that sometimes calls don’t come by telephone.  And most missions don’t come in a white envelope on a Wednesday in the mail. They come from the Lord. Through invitation. Through the Spirit.Has anyone ever told you that you are extraordinary? That you are destined for remarkable things? That there is a spark of greatness in you? They should have.

Emily Freeman

Difference between ordinary and extraordinary is just that little “extra”

Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.
C. S. Lewis

 

When you are going through difficulty and wonder where God

is remember the teacher is always quiet during

 

THE TEST

 

 

When things are difficult... don't mistake this for God not being with you during the trial. He's there. Always.

 

“To those who feel darkness encroaching upon them, who may feel burdened by worry, fear, or doubt... I repeat a wonderful and certain truth: God’s light is real. It is available to all! It gives life to all things. … It can illuminate the path before us and lead us through the darkest night into the promise of a new dawn.”
