Choose This Day

What do You Choose?

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Today I want to share a video with you about choosing to follow our Savior. This has been on my mind a lot lately because I have been trying to make some very difficult decisions in regards to mission preparation and going to school this fall. Things are not always as we may expect. The Lord's plan for us is defiantly not the plan we have for ourselves and this past week I have been learning that a lot. And the question is always there: "Are you going to serve The Lord this day? Or are you going to keep putting it off to someday?"

Click here to watch "Choose This Day" By Elder Eyring of the First Presidency of the Church.

Are you willing to ask God " "Please let me serve, this day. It doesn't matter to me how few things I may be able to do. Just let me know what I can do. I will obey this day. I know that I can, with Thy help."

Brothers and Sisters I want to invite you, no matter what stage of life you are in right now, to humbly knee and ask God what you can do. Because I know with His help you can do whatever you are called to do. I want to invite you to remember Elder Eyring's promises concerning this question.

1.  "Hard as things seem today, they will be better in the next day if you choose to serve the Lord this day."
2.  "By choosing to serve Him this day, you will feel His love and grow to love Him more. You would not want to delay receiving that blessing. And feeling His love will draw you back to His service, wiping away both complacency and discouragement."

I just want to add my testimony to Elder Eyring's, that I know that Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ live and They love every single one of us. I know that if we choose to serve Him this day, no matter how hard it may seem: we can do it, and we will be immensely blessed with power to overcome and to be His true disciple. The Lord will know He can count on you to do His work, if you will just pray, ask for His guidance, and Act/Obey His will. I know these things are true, and although it will almost never be easy for any of us: it will all be worth it in the end.

Of this I testify in the name of Jesus Christ, Our Elder Brother and Savior,
Amen

Love.
Samantha
