Faith in Him

Faith is like a little seed! If planted it will grow! There are so many examples of faith through out the scriptures and in our own lives. Someone who puts all their trust in the Lord in a tough time and has faith that if they will endure it well, the out come in the end will out weigh anything they could have asked for. Something that often becomes a hurdle, when the outcome is not what we expect or the end isn't when we wanted it. I love this part in Preach my Gospel about Faith in Jesus Christ, "When we have faith in Christ, we accept and apply His Atonement and His teachings. We trust Him and what He says. We know that He has the power to keep His promises." Our faith in Jesus Christ is what will help us through trials that come into our lives! As we begin to realize that the outcome from relying on the Savior during a trial will far outreach not having faith, our trials will be bearable! Our lives are a time to be tested and go through trials, but I believe that is because Heavenly Father wants us to learn to trust him and his plan, so he gives us tough times. Central to that plan is the Atonement of Jesus Christ! I know that I have said a lot lately about the Atonement but it means so much to me and I want everyone everywhere to know that they can be healed and find peace and solace through the Atonement of Jesus Christ! That is what makes me happy because I know that what ever I go through in this life that Christ is at the helm helping to overcome!  Some believe that God has ceased to be a God of miracles today but I am here to say that is not true!! He sends us miracles each day but it is conditional on our faith in him!  "If ye awake and arouse your faculties...and exercise a particle of faith" that will be sufficient! Faith can move mountains but most importantly it can get us through our day to day trails! If God can move mountains through faith don't you think that he could pay our bills when we exercise faith in paying our tithing! It is the same for about every commandment! Faith is truly an action word with a miraculous outcome!  Having faith that as long as we do our part and keep the commandments that Heavenly Father will do his part will be enough! Faith precedes miracles! I know if we have faith in the Savior and in our Heavenly Father that we will see miracles in our lives, small and large, some we may not even notice and some will practically slap us in the face! I know that faith can help us through our tough times and bring us closer to the Savior in the end if we will let them! I know he lives and died for us! Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer! He wants to best for us and will help us through our trials! We just have to have faith in him!!
