From this week's Come, Follow Me reading in Psalms...
The Lord forgives, heals, redeems, and crowns us with His kindness and mercy, for which I'm eternally grateful.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,and forget not all his benefits:Who forgiveth all thine iniquitiesWho healeth all thy diseasesWho redeemeth thy life from destructionWho crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies
I am grateful for all the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does to protect the innocent as the Savior would have us do. My faith in Jesus Christ, my covenants with Him, ministering opportunities, service, and many other aspects of the Church have enabled me to help others in need and to bless my family and children by putting them first.
A recent article about sex abuse and the failure of Church policy to stop it has raised questions about the Church and its efforts to end abuse. I encourage all who have questions and want answers and perspective to read and listen to these resources:
I love the Lord. I believe Elder Kearon when he said this:
"Jesus specializes in the seemingly impossible. He came here to make the impossible possible, the irredeemable redeemable, to heal the unhealable, to right the unrightable, to promise the unpromisable. And He’s really good at it. In fact, He’s perfect at it."
We are children of the God of the Universe who created the heavens.
When I consider thy heavens,
the work of thy fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which thou hast ordained;
What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
