As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, we are encouraged to share the gospel to those we come in contact with each day. The very word, "Gospel" means good news, and yet, here I am, always so afraid to lift my voice and do so. I guess I am afraid of offending people. I don't want to make people feel uncomfortable. I certainly don't want people to feel that having a relationship with me is based on whether or not they are a member of my church. I love people! There are good people in all faiths! However, I guess all this uncertainty of how they would receive my openness to share the gospel is what keeps me from sharing.
Today I got on facebook and a cute friend of mine posted the quote below on her facebook page. Her invitation touched my heart in a way I can't describe. I thought about her age, I thought about her station in life, I thought about the courage it took to post her invitaion on Facebook, and to be honest with you, I was ashamed I had not taken the opportunity to be more like her.
So today I want to thank Karli M. For reminding me that gratitude is best shown by expressing my thankful heart in action! Make no doubt about it, I love my Savior. He lives! I love my Father in Heaven! He tends to me with a merciful heart! I love the gospel of Jesus Christ. It makes the biggest difference in my life and in my family. And today I extend an invitation to all to come and listen.
In closing, I leave you with my young friends wise words.
"To ALL of my friend's.......if you have experienced hard times in your life, if you have ever lost a loved one, If you have ever questioned if anyone loves you, if you've ever wondered if you have a purpose here on this earth, or if you are worth anything, If you've ever wondered if there is a God or if Jesus Christ is really our Savior. If you have ever felt like something is missing in your life. Please watch this short video and watch The LDS General Conference this weekend. If you watch with questions in your heart. I know you will find answer's. Mormon or not Mormon, it does not matter! :) Everyone is invited to watch General Conference. Just give it a chance! Even if you can't watch all four sessions, it's okay. Just watch what you can. There are two on Saturday two on Sunday. Watch, listen, you'll love conference. Channel 5. Have a great day! :)"
Thanks Karli, you were a great example today!
