I have enjoyed every single minute of my mission. I have changed so much physically (not in height) and spiritually. I have grown a firm and undeniable testimony of my Savior Jesus Christ and his gospel. I know why this church is so important and why it is SOOOOOO important to OBEY!! I love this country, I love President Laboriel. I will miss him so much. However, I know that I will see him again in the future. Thank you, all of you for your examples to me. Your help, support, and most of all, the love. I will always remember MY mission experiences. I am so, so so glad that I endured on this mission. I learned so much and suffered even more. But that is the way that Heavenly Father builds us up to be the children he knew we were going to be before the foundation of this world. He loves us and knows us personally. I have changed, I have learned, I have made covenants, I have suffered, and I have been cut down. ALL OF IT, for a purpose that only my Heavenly Father and his Son Jesus Christ know about.
I love you, See you on Thursday!!
Love always, Elder Brady Black

Belief is the reason we go on a mission. It is the motive for preaching about Christ and sharing/Proclaiming his love. Faith is understanding we are children of God and our Heavenly Father. May this definition of faith bless you in your life. Faith is defined again and because faith has an inherent joy it gives us a solid foundation that we finally have the peace we have been searching for.
ReplyDelete"Many believer's feed themselves on what God hasn't done. When I dwell on what hasn't happened, I create the atmosphere for the spirit of offense to arise and to thrive. When I dwell on what hasn't happened, I legitimize unbelief. I live with a sense of justification, for not believing God.
Faith in the purest sense is the ceasing of resistance. even when there's no physical evidence, when the other evidence is present. Not feeding ourselves on what God hasn't done Faith in it's purest form is the absence of resistance
Heaven is a place where everyone is celebrated, some are more honored but everyone is celebrated. All men and all women shall be judged on the light which they have received. Heaven is a permissible culture. God's nature is eternally permissible. These statements protect us from credit.
Faith in the purest sense is the ceasing of resistance, even when there's no physical evidence, when the other evidence is present. Not feeding ourselves on what God hasn't done. Faith in it's purest form is the absence of resistance. Faith doesn't deny a problems existence, it denies it's influence. He or she was someone whom aridity and desolation never disturbed for he or she had a deeply rooted, and a vigorous faith.
Now we can act as we have always dreamed. Now we can act as we have always been. Now we can step into the light and gather the sunlight instead of blocking out our possibilities. Instead of blocking out our joy. Variety will bloom in/under the sun. We can show off our best, we can enjoy other people's gifts. We can blossom where we stand upon the joy that faith provides us. Upon the joy that faith inherently has, which blossoms the entire field of flowers"
