Your Next Steps

Thought by Elder Randall Bennett~ your next step Oct General Conference 2015

My heart sank during a recent meeting with wonderful Latter-day Saints. The question was asked, “Who desires to live with Heavenly Father again?” Every hand went up. The next question was “Who has confidence you’ll succeed?” Sadly and surprisingly, most hands went down.

When we perceive a gap between who we are now and who we desire to become, many of us are tempted to choose to lose faith and hope.¹

Because “no unclean thing can dwell with God,”² in order to live with Him again we will need to be cleansed of sin³ and sanctified.⁴ If we had to do this alone,none of us would make it. But we are not alone. In fact, we are never alone.

We have heaven’s help because of Jesus Christ and His Atonement.⁵ The Savior said, “If ye will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me.”⁶ When faith is exercised, faith increases.

Without him, we can't overcome death, or be born in the first place. It is always nice to hear about what can be done when we turn to him. It be one great reunion when we see Him again. Don't forget to include in you pray about saying I love you Heavenly Father. It always seem when I say it it brings me joy.~love Elder Hernandez
