I know that my Redeember lives.

I will not be afraid to call out to captain to calm the waves in me.

He is the hope I hold on to.

He lives eternally to save;

I don't know if I've written this in here yet or not, but it is something that really struck a chord in me and I just have to share it!!

President Wright shared this at the end of one of our Multi-Stake YSA meetings, and it just rings so true to me!

The Lord loves us, and when we forget the fact that He loves us is when we start doing our own work and we stop doing the Lord's work. Our will comes before the Lord's will. When we remember the Lord's love for us, it reminds us that our purpose here on Earth is to do the Lord's work. When we remember the Lord's love for us, we put Him first.

I LOVE THIS!! Whenever I feel like I am losing ground in the constant battle we are fighting, I ask myself if I can feel the Lord's love. Am I remembering His love? Am I remembering His sacrifice? If I cannot feel it, if I cannot remember His love, I do what I need to do so that I can feel it again. Feeling that love makes everything easier!! It is easier to be obedient, to be faithful, to have the courage to do what is right.

It is true. The Lord loves you. If you feel like He doesn't, do what you need to do to feel His love again. Lock yourself in your closet and cry unto Him like you've never cried before if that is what it takes. And don't get off your knees until you feel it. That Love is vital to your happiness. Everything in your life could be going wrong, but if you know that the Lord loves you, life is still hard, but that knowledge makes coping that much easier. I promise.
