Expressing thoughts in an articulate manner, not one of my strengths. Especially if those thoughts are important or deeply meaningful. Not a good problem. This past few months I have been pondering much about the Atonement of Christ, faith, repentance, baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost along with endurance. Many wonderful thoughts flit through my brain; and then when sitting at the keyboard ready to immortalize those thoughts, my mind goes blank and what I write seems trivial and unworthy of being recorded.
Decided to seek help. I am inviting your comments below. Seeing how you each articulate what you would like to say may help me be able to express myself more meaningfully.
Why is "endurance" a part of the Gospel? How does it fit into the "good news" of Christ and His mission? What is endurance? Why are their times in our life when it is easier to endure than others?
Blogs are supposed to be for us to express personal thoughts.
Turning this around a bit, today.
Thank you, for your comments.
I think endurance is one of the more important parts of the gospel. If we were just to throw up our hands when something got hard we wouldn't learn. Which is kind of the whole point of us being here on Earth. I think the enduring part seems hardest when I lose sight of the goal and focus too much on trial. The "Good News" part is that with Jesus' help all of our endurings will be worth it. Today in my CTR 8 class we talked about how if Jesus had been born today a lot more people would have had the means to go see him. I had to be funny and say something about how with all those people flying over the tickets would get really expensive and one of the girls said in a very matter of fact tone, "Well, it would be worth it." So even though some days our trails make enduring seem like a high price to pay because of Jesus it won't be all for not. We CAN live again and we CAN be forgiven and live with Heavenly Father, Jesus, and our whole family which I think is totally worth it.
