As we seek goodness, our thoughts and hearts, and subsequently our behaviors, attitudes, actions, and sensitivities will impel us down the path of righteousness, peace, and joy.
Striving to understand and make real the supernal sacrifice of Jesus Christ in our lives can inform and inspire our desire to know how we can sacrifice in sustaining and defending the Kingdom of God in these latter days.
Though the details of the hereafter remain shrouded by the veil, what Grandpa knew and what I know is that there is peace in the Savior, who we know and love dearly, in whom all is made possible, and all are made free. Gary Washburn believed this, and we believe it too.
As Jesus faithfully went to fulfill his mission as only He could, as His followers, let us each do the same to fulfill ours and follow in His command when He said “Go, and do thou likewise.”
I hope that each of us will heed the Savior’s admonition to “Go, and do thou likewise,” to heal, succor, carry, and make room for everyone in the Inn as the Master would.
Through an imperfect and vulnerable human being, Jesus Christ was able to restore the truth to the world, and that restoration continues to this day and shows no signs of stopping.
I testify that in Jesus Christ is our only true respite and the only lasting source of peace and contentment as we navigate the ruthlessly trying phase of our lives that is young single adulthood.
Only when we commit ourselves to obedience to God and the redeeming grace of the Atonement of Jesus Christ can we be healed, taught, and oriented onto the straight and narrow path directly into the loving embrace of our Heavenly Father. You are not the exception.
