Like a Lightbulb



Dear Lovelies,

Hello again! This morning I read the talk “Be of Good Cheer” by President Thomas S. Monson from the April 2009 General Conference. My favorite, and possibly more well-known quote from this talk is “Your future is as bright as your faith.”
President Monson starts off talking about some challenges and trials our world had been facing, at that time. BUT, then he reads a scripture to balance things out.

(2 Timothy 1:7) “God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

The Spirit is here to guide and comfort us. Like it says above, he won’t create fear; that is Satan’s doing.

Also, “our attitudes will not...remove our troubles from us, but rather will enable us to face our challenges, to meet them head on, and to emerge victorious.” (President Monson)

My favorite scripture from this talk is: (John 16:33) “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”

I know we are not alone. He is right there waiting for us to ask, so He can reach out and help us.

Sincerely, Shelbi
