Dear Ones Of Great Worth!
This
week was week of knowledge building spiritually and physically. I
learned that as we go throughout each day and face adversity, we can do
all things through Christ.
Like in Philippians 4:13 when it says, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
I
know that this to be so true. I have seen Him strengtheneth me this
week. I have seen how He understands all that we go through every single
minute in our lives and is with us to bear us up. ALWAYS.
This
week we went on exchange with Sister C and Sister J. They
are just FANTASTIC missionaries who are such examples to me in MANY
WAYS. I look up to them so much! They are such blessings to this mission
by their witnesses and who they have become throughout their lives to
get to this point. It is just amazing to get to know the missionaries
and see how we have each been prepared to serve our Lord and Savior.
As
I was with Sister C she taught me so many things. But many of
them were by her example. AHHH! She is just amazing with her desires to
follow the Lord in what He needs. One of the verbal things she taught me
out of the many was this scripture in 3 Nephi 5:
13
Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been
called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have
everlasting life.
I remembered she looked at
me and said, "Motra Bezas, You fear NO man!" That is something that I am
always to struggling to do is to be a teacher full of confidence. But I
know that as I testify to the investigators and promise the spirit
guided blessings God has for each of His children, that my confidence
will grow and I will gain a deeper faith in my Savior.
A
song I found myself studying from the Hymns this week I felt really
fit with this goal of becoming more of the teacher God knows I can
become.
1. More holiness give me,
More strivings within,
More patience in suff’ring,
More sorrow for sin,
More faith in my Savior,
More sense of his care,
More joy in his service,
More purpose in prayer.
2. More gratitude give me,
More trust in the Lord,
More pride in his glory,
More hope in his word,
More tears for his sorrows,
More pain at his grief,
More meekness in trial,
More praise for relief.
3. More purity give me,
More strength to o’ercome,
More freedom from earth-stains,
More longing for home.
More fit for the kingdom,
More used would I be,
More blessed and holy–
More, Savior, like thee.
I
know the Lord is just waiting for us. Every step of the way. I know
that it is just up to each of us to take the steps in this life to keep
walking with Him in the Life to come. We are His disciples here to teach
His word and to have His Children gain a deeper relationship with him.
Because He suffered and died for us and the sins we make everyday, He
knows us through and through and it is our turn to get to know him and
know all that he has done for us.
I know that
as we do this, we will feel a deeper overwhelming sense of Love to our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and I know that this is a promise that God
gives each of us.
If I knew nothing else,
I know that God gave His only Begotten Son so that WE can LIVE again.
We lived with Him before this life and He WANTS us to live AGAIN with
HIM. BECAUSE WE MATTER TO HIM MORE THAN WE CAN COMPREHEND!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for all that you and remember that you matter To HIM!
Motra Bezas
How Firm A Foundation
More Holiness Gives Me
