The worldwide devotional with Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles just got over and oh my goodness it was super great. If you didn't get the chance to watch it, head on over to lds.org and you can watch it right now. I took some notes and just wanted to share some insights that were said and my thoughts and everything with you all for today's Sunday post :)
Elder Cook's wife Sister Mary G. Cook spoke first. She said this, "We are never truly alone, the Savior has promised us comfort...the Holy Ghost is our constant companion." That is so important to remember especially during our hard times and the adversity that may come our way. Loneliness is such a common feeling, but we do not need to feel alone because we have the Savior. He is with us always even and especially when we may not think so... He is always always there. After Sister Cook spoke, Quentin L. Cook then addressed us. One of his quotes that stood out to me was when he said, "We can have complete joy because of the Savior." Doesn't that bring so much peace and comfort? The opposite of joy is sadness and despair that comes from the adversary -Satan- and we need to remember that so that we can be aware of his discouraging ways. It's important to remember that our Heavenly Father wants us to be happy. He truly does, and He wants to bless us. We can overcome discouragement and sadness through the Savior. It is possible, I promise you because I experienced first hand what it felt like to go without joy for several months. I'm reminded of a quote: "Joy always comes after sorrow." So very true... We just have to rely on Him. I apologize for this post going up later than usual! I just wanted to share some quotes that were said and my thoughts with you all :) Have a fabulous rest of your Sabbath and a great week! Ness P.S Check out the new Ponderize of The Week and the new Quote of The Week!

Ponderize Of The Week:
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed." - James 1:5-6 Quote Of The Week:
"Give it to God and go to sleep." - Unknown |
