Something that I've
noticed as I talk to people and as I share the Book of Mormon with them is that
the Spirit follows the word of God and that people notice. As people read the
Book of Mormon they find that they have more peace in their homes. They want to
keep reading. They have a desire to have more of God's word in their lives.
The hardest part of
conversion is always beginning. Whether we are repenting and learning to trust
God for the first time, or coming back after a long period of diminished faith –
Satan fights against our righteous desires. Picking up the scriptures seems
impossible and totally unappealing. Coming to church seems daunting. Repentance
seems beyond our capacity to endure. My promise is that the first step is the
hardest, and that the blessings that you will receive will be far greater than
any sacrifice that you make in an effort to serve the Lord.
As you try your hardest,
Christ makes it possible. I promise that you can have a better life and more
peace. You can feel closer to your Father in Heaven.
I am grateful that I have
the scriptures in my life. I am grateful for the spirit that the Book of Mormon
brings. I invite you to find out for yourself what blessings they can bring to
your life. That is how you stay rooted in Christ and how you maintain a desire
to repent and follow Christ's example.
Love,
Sister Caroline Faulkner
