COME TO JESUS

Sisters!  I don’t know how I spaced this, but I did!  I am going to blame the Layton’s delicious Sunday dinner on my lapse in memory!  I was sitting at my computer tonight and it DAWNED ON ME!  AHHHHHH I didn’t do the announcements!! No wonder I have had a rough week! J

Our lesson this week was given by our new ward member and newest called teacher, Sarah Udall.  She gave it out of lesson #19 Repentance.  I was so touched by her lesson .  She was VERY prepared and had AMAZING quotes to share and great perspective. 

Here are some of the highlights:

“Repentance is ever the key to a better happier life!” –Spencer W. Kimball

She reminded us about the talk by Elder Packer THIS conference where he taught us that each of US holds the key to our own prison. He says, “ Every soul confined in a prison of sin, guilt or perversion holds a key to the gate.  The key is labeled REPENTANCE! If you know how to use the key, the adversary cannot hold you.”

She shared with us the scripture out of D&C 19:16-17

“I God have suffered the things for all that they might not suffer IF they would repent, but if they would not repent they must suffer even as I.”

We are all in need of repentance.  We all need to cleanse our inner vessel as we continue through this journey of life.  It is up to us to take our key and USE IT.  Access our Heavenly Father’s Love and our Saviors sacrifice.  Are we willing to say as Alma, “I will give away ALL my sins to know thee.”

This video and song touched my heart Sunday as I continues my personal study about repentance.  I hope it will touch yours as well.  We all need him, we just need to come to Jesus!


All my love,
Meg
