Hope For Better Days to Come

It is worth it. 
I just wanted to share with y'all a short little post about hoping for better days to come. Sometimes we get so caught up in the ways of the world that we forget what is most important. When this happens the only way to get back to our Savior is by recognizing that we have done wrong and using His infinite atonement to repent and come back to Him. Sometimes we think this action is impossible. Sometimes we try and try and try but it seems that no matter how hard we try: we can't get anywhere. It is in these moments we hope. I want to share a video with you that gives me hope and helps me remember we must never stop trying because every effort we make is worth it and we can repent and come back to our Savior. Click here to watch the short video.

Elder Uchtdorf reminds us that "our prayers are heard and answered." We must remember that there is reason to rejoice, even when all is dark around us and our lives seem bleak; because of the life and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Because He made it possible for us to return to Him. "Never give in, never surrender, never allow despair to overcome your spirit, for the love of the Son of God pierces all darkness, softens all sorrow, and gladdens every heart." -Elder Uchtdorf

I know that this is true. I know that even when it seems all hope is lost and you are completely alone: you are not lost, and you are not alone. The Savior is standing by your side, He loves you, He is watching over you, and He cares about you and wants you to feel of His love: so let Him in, let Him help, and follow His example. Hope is never lost. Better days are ahead. I know this is true.

In the name of Jesus Christ,
Amen

Love,
Samantha
