Acts of courage are how we come to know Christ. Faith is
understanding that the darkness will not be everlasting and that is why we step
into it. We will only find the light when we see the darkness. That is why we
are grateful for the challenges that test our faith and our testimonies. It is
by conquering through those experiences that truly help us to feel our
Father in Heaven. To know Him.
Faith is the understanding that the darkness will not be
everlasting. The confidence in Christ. The hope that he is really there.
Every one of us has darkness in our lives. Maybe it's
depression or anxiety. Maybe it's past sins. It could be an inability to
forgive yourself, or maybe it's that fear that you can't do everything that you
feel you need to. Maybe you feel you're forever falling short. You might feel
that you are alone, or lost.
Here's what I say to that: as we were all taught it Batman,
"The night is darkest just before the dawn." When Nephi saw the vision
of the tree of life, he saw people press forward through darkness by the way of
the iron rod.
I testify to you that no matter how dark your night, or how
scary your circumstance. There is no darkness so thick that Jesus Christ cannot
shine through it. The dawn will break. Happiness will be yours. Peace, hope and
light are just around the corner for those who will put their trust in God and
do His will. Have faith in Him. press forward. You can do it. I love you. And
so does our Father in Heaven. Just hold to the rod, do as you've been taught.
Peace. Love. And Temple Marriage. In that order.
Elder Taylor J. Hill
