Sisters,
Upon
pondering Helaman 5:12 this past week for our Scripture Challenge Activity, I
thought about the great men in the Book of Mormon who fostered access to a
greater knowledge by bringing to mind their key spiritual experiences. Alma fortified and strenghtened his
children by reminding them about his conversion experience. Helaman taught Nephi and Lehi to
remember--to remember that it was upon the rock of Christ that they had to
build their foundation so the devil would have no power over them.
We
(I) must do the same. Remembering
God helps me to feel and live.
This gives deeper meaning to my life, and my purpose in being on earth
at this time.
I've learned that by coming unto Christ, every soul, (me included), can
see, feel, and know of a surety that Christ suffered and atoned for our
sins. He knows how to succor His
people, He knows how to succor ME.
Marriage and families that are struggling for whatever reason-- economic
challenges, bad media, influences, or family dynamics-- will feel a calming
influence from heaven through Jesus Christ.
It
has been comforting for me to "remember, remember" this past week
that Jesus Christ is the rock upon which I gain my strength from and upon which
I want to continue to build by faith and testimony, my “foundation” on him, so I “cannot fall”.

Thank you for sharing Susan. Something that stuck out to me and that I underlined many times was the phrase "I cannot fall!" What a comfort to know that if I build my testimony on the rock of my redeemer, I cannot fall.
