Drew mail 3-1-21: "Explain God's Will"

 


Hi everyone! I hope all of you are doing good and have been having a great week! It's pretty crazy how the days and everything seems to be blurring together! We've been working hard and had some great experiences this week! One of the most notable was when we got to go visit a lady who is a member who is trying to return to the church of Jesus Christ. She's had a lot of struggles and has made a lot of bad decisions and we felt we needed to explain a few of  God's commandments to her including the Law of Chastity and the Word of Wisdom which are incredible blessings to help take care of our bodies and keep us free, happy and healthy, able to do everything God wants us to do. 

She expressed that she was feeling a really profound pain and great burden because of her bad choices and she wants to change. We were able to express that God loves her perfectly and that she has a divine potential. That she can be healed and forgiven and receive everything God has for her if she chooses to repent and become more like the Savior. It was a really great experience for me, and I've learned so much about why God gives us commandments and asks us to live a certain way. I know that it's because He wants us to be happy and clean and be changed to be able to become like Him and be filled with His love, blessings and power of the Holy Ghost. I know that if we trust in Him and do what He asks of us we WILL be blessed and protected from all the bad Satan wants to throw at us. It's vital that we can decide now how we will live and what we will do when we're tempted to do wrong and that we can fully put our faith in our Savior Jesus Christ. 

Know that no matter what happens you can put your faith in Him. Just keep trying your best and give all you've got to Him. Make up your mind know to be living in accordance with Gods will and I promise you'll be safe from many wrongs and harmful things that happen when we don't do what God asks. Satan works hard to make us feel fearful or ashamed when we make mistakes and that's not from God. He wants us to do the best we can and to love Him, admit our wrongs and change so I invite you to pray and listen to what the Spirit tells you you can do better or more fully commit to Heavenly Father and repent when you make mistakes. 

I testify that if you truly love God and give your best to Him, repenting daily of your sins and mistakes, relying on the Savior to become better, and change you will be filled with great joy and power and love. I know God loves you so much and will help you as you fully trust in Him! If there's anything I can do for you let me know! I'm praying for you and I love you! I'm grateful for all you do and I know God loves you too and has great blessings and good in store for you! Just keep trying and take it one day at a time! You're the best, have a great week! 😊
