Perfectly Perth: Come Unto Christ

Hello everybody!

It's been another great week here on the mission. I am so grateful for this opportunity I have been given. This week I have realized that God is so so so much into the details of our lives and sometimes we tell him, "Sorry, please go away. I was doing just fine. I know what i'm doing. please don't interrupt me." we might not have outwardly said this, but we say it by our actions.

I've had a major layer of confusion taken from my eyes this week. I've had the absolute clarity how much I need Jesus Christ to be a part of my life. I've seemed to have God be a part of my life as well as the Holy Ghost but I felt like I didn't have a personal connection with Jesus Christ. And let me tell you, this week I needed it. And I got it.

I have been studying the Enabling Power of the Atonement. Jesus Christ and His grace is so REAL. I think I have been trying to do everything on my own for a while. It's hard to do things on your own. Sometimes we feel we are carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders. That's pretty heavy. Whatever our task might be, if we turn to Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father, through the Holy Ghost we will receive Divine help. Divine strength. Jesus Christ says over and over, Come, Follow Me. Come Unto Me. We are supposed to develop Christlike Attributes. This is the Church of Jesus Christ! He should be the source of all our happiness, all our power, all our strength. He is the source of true hope, happiness, and peace.

I know I can turn to Him every minute, every hour, every day, in every decision, every struggle, and He will give me help. I need help. A lot of it. I can not do this on my own. And now that I've truly seen how He can help me, I never want to think that I can do it on my own again. I can NOT do anything on my own.

And neither can you.

Love,

Sister Beardall
