SHARE THE GIFT

#sharethegift

Day 1

Every day until Christmas, I plan to #sharethegift in my own personal way.
I find that some of the greatest revelation I can receive, comes from sharing what I have learned and discovered with others.

Today I have been thinking a lot about the scripture in Ether, chapter 12, verse 27.

It reads: "And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."

I can literally imagine, in my mind, giving the Lord my weaknesses, physically putting them in a bag and giving them to Him. Then saying, "I don't want these anymore. I don't want to feel weak and powerless against the adversary. Please take them away."
Then I see Him take the bag, hug me, look me in the eyes and say, "You have me, you are NEVER weak. I will make you strong."

That is a GIFT, to be able to have Him on our side, strengthening us continually.
He is on our side. He is our Defender and Advocate, someone who fights for us.

I know the Savior is there to lift us and help us at ALL times. He cares and His love is pure power. I know that if we can come unto Him with a humble heart, He will make us strong and whole again.
