And I just wanted to share a quick thought with you all.
3 Nephi 17 holds some of my most favorite verses. I remember growing up, and as we all do, things happen that hurt us, that cause us to break, and tear, and scar. For a long time, I held those scars too close and tried to cover them up with a whole bunch of different things. What I want to share with all of you today is the healing that can come through Jesus Christ. In 3 Nephi, it says:
7 Have ye any that are sick among you? Bring them hither. Have ye any that are lame, or blind, or halt, or maimed, or leprous, or that are withered, or that are deaf, or that are afflicted in any manner? Bring them hither and I will heal them, for I have compassion upon you; my bowels are filled with mercy.
9 And it came to pass that when he had thus spoken, all the multitude, with one accord, did go forth with their sick and their afflicted, and their lame, and with their blind, and with their dumb, and with all them that were afflicted in any manner; and he did heal them every one as they were brought forth unto him.
10 And they did all, both they who had been healed and they who were whole, bow down at his feet, and did worship him; and as many as could come for the multitude did kiss his feet, insomuch that they did bathe his feet with their tears.
This is the promise i want to share with you all. Truly, through Jesus Christ we are healed. Our scars and hurt that cannot be covered up are made whole through Him. He is the way. He is the only way. So I invite all of you, those who may have never learned, those who are hurting, those who need to be made whole (this includes all of us), to turn to him. Turn everything over to him, and let him heal you. You can feel peace, you can feel happiness and fullfillment, and love again.
Pics: 1. me and a recent convert, ming sopia. shes incredible! she sells food every day on the side of her house, so shes ALWAYS busy and ALWAYS working but anytime we stop by she always lets us read the bom with her for 15 minutes. she holds my heart because her faith is so strong.
2+3. random pics of cute kids in my favorite area. this area is so poor, and the people are so humble and so ready to hear the message of the gospel.
