Saturday Evening Session
Faithful to the End
Excerpts
Dear young friends, today I would like to speak directly to you—the youth of the Church. …
While David used only one stone to kill Goliath, he was prepared with five. …
What if each of David’s stones represented a strength we need to be triumphant in our lives? What could those five stones be? I thought of these possibilities: …
First, the stone of my love for God. …
Our love for God and our close relationship with Him give us the strength we need to transform our hearts and more easily overcome our challenges.
Second, the stone of my faith in our Savior, Jesus Christ. … Having faith in Jesus Christ means to fully trust His wisdom, His timing, His love, and His power to atone for our sins. …
Number three, the stone of the knowledge of my true identity. …
Everything changes when I know who I really am. …
Fourth, the stone of my daily repentance. …
Nothing is more liberating than feeling God’s forgiveness and knowing that we are clean and reconciled with Him. …
The fifth stone is the stone of my access to God’s power. …
How can we draw upon this power of Jesus Christ? Obeying our covenants and increasing our faith in Jesus Christ are key.
I actually wish David had had one more stone; that would be the stone of my testimony. …
Dear friends, Christ is eager to accompany us on the journey of our lives. …
… There is joy in being a disciple of Jesus Christ.
