Sunday Morning Session
God among Us
Excerpts
When we feel insignificant, cast off, and forgotten, we learn that we may be assured that God has not forgotten us—in fact, that He offers to all His children something unimaginable: to become “heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ” [Romans 8:17]. …
Because of Jesus Christ, our failures do not have to define us. They can refine us. …
If we repent, mistakes do not disqualify us. They are part of our progress. …
I often have wondered, What would Jesus teach and do if He were among us today? …
The Savior always teaches timeless truths. They apply to people of every age and any circumstance.
His message was and is a message of hope and belonging—a testimony that God our Heavenly Father has not abandoned His children.
That God is among us! …
As we seek to follow Jesus Christ and walk the path of discipleship, line upon line, the day will come that we will experience that unimaginable gift of receiving a fulness of joy. …
I extend to you my love and blessing at this joyful Easter season. Open your hearts to our Savior and Redeemer, no matter your circumstances, trials, sufferings, or mistakes; you can know that He lives, that He loves you, and that because of Him, you will never be alone.
God is among us.
