Most people strengthen their faith little by little, crumb by crumb, pebble by pebble or brick by brick type of thing. One day we will have pure full faith and have a whole bakery, a mountain or a mansion that those little bits of faith have built. Every now and then the lord blesses us so much and gives us a whole loaf of bread or a cake ( I like Cake), a few boulders or a load of bricks in the form of trials. Sometimes it is death, sometimes sickness, it really could be a whole number of things ... anyway he blesses us with a trial for me it was something so unexpected but so needed. My first reaction was pure fear. BUT one of the one things I remember best from EFY is that FEAR is the opposite of FAITH. The lord new this is a lesson I would need and that is why this concept has stayed with me for years.
I am so grateful that the lord in his perfect love for me and my family and for each one of us prescribes trials that help us grow in faith. I am so glad that it is NEVER TOO LATE to Strengthen ones faith and to get a boost in the path of righteousness. I will take this lesson and continue to study, pray and serve in order for my faith to be strengthened and I will look forward to the trying times the lord will give me to strengthen my faith even more. I am so grateful for my knowledge of the true gospel of Jesus Christ. That he is mindful of me and cares for me and my family. I am grateful for family and loving friends whom are there to support me in my time of need. I love the Savior Jesus Christ who died for my sins.
In his name I Testify
Amen
