Jesus himself drew near (Come, Follow Me)

From this week's Come, Follow Me reading...  If we gather and speak of Christ, He will walk with us.

And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
Luke 24:15

I have overcome (Come, Follow Me)

From today's Come, Follow Me reading in John comes these comforting words.  Jesus Christ is the ultimate source of peace and joy.

In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
John 16:33

He loved them unto the end (Come, Follow Me)

Studying Come, Follow Me this week, I found this comforting verse. Because of His love for us, Jesus Christ endured to the end, in the garden and on the cross. As a result, He opened the door to salvation and eternal happiness for all. May I follow His example in exercising enduring love for others.

He loved them unto the end.
John 13:1

The house of prayer (Come, Follow Me)

My house shall be called the house of prayer

Matthew 21:13

Come Back Podcast: "the Book of Mormon didn't do anything for me personally"

Reading the Book of Mormon can signal to God that we are open to his divine help.  Some may wonder, "why don't I feel anything when I read the Book of Mormon?" or "why didn't I get an answer that the Book of Mormon is true?"

In this Come Back Podcast interview, Lauren Rose shares her experience reading the Book of Mormon and how it was a turning point in her life.  After reading it, she said, "the Book of Mormon didn't do anything for me personally", but she recognized that it opened the door to Heavenly help:

Sometimes the Lord uses small acts of faith, like reading the Book of Mormon, to start making changes in our lives that lead us to the happiness we seek.

I love the Come Back Podcast.  So many people have finding their faith in Christ and coming back.
