“What would you do if you had more faith?” I love that question from President Nelson’s most recent talk (see previous post)! Lately, I have come to realize that I have lived a good share of my life in fear, worry, and stress…and sometimes thinking or fearing the worst. What would I do if I had more faith? When my perspective is changed, I feel more hope and faith that everything will be okay and will work out. I see circumstances and people in a more positive light. I SEE people more often. I remember that all the challenges and difficulties are for my learning and growth. I feel peace and strength, and even empowerment. I am SO. MUCH. HAPPIER! What if I could feel this way a lot more often? I think that would be life-changing! I believe our faith in Christ actually gives us the power to change our lives! Maybe it won’t change our circumstances, but I believe it will change the way we SEE our lives, and then give us the power to change so many things in our lives, perhaps in ways we can’t even imagine right now. Just being that happier, more optimistic, hopeful, loving person with a zest for life more of the time sounds pretty amazing to me!
Here are two of my goals: (1) To write down specific, personal things I would do if I had more faith, and (2) To continue to learn more about Christ and His mission, ministry, and doctrine and its power in my life. In the process, I hope to learn to trust Him even more.
I would love to hear from you! What would you like to do to increase your faith in Christ?
