Elder David A Bednar's talk is wonderful. He speaks of spiritual strength, and I know he speaks the truth. I LOVE my Savior SO much, and I know he loves me for who I am. I also LOVE every single one of you who is reading this. You are a child of God, who will strengthen you and lift you up!
"There
is no physical pain, no anguish of soul, no suffering of spirit, no
infirmity or weakness that you or I ever experience during our mortal
journey that the Savior did not experience first. You and I in a moment
of weakness may cry out, “No one understands. No one knows.” No human
being, perhaps, knows. But the Son of God perfectly knows and
understands, for He felt and bore our burdens before we ever did. And
because He paid the ultimate price and bore that burden, He has perfect
empathy and can extend to us His arm of mercy in so many phases of our
life. He can reach out, touch, succor—literally run to us—and strengthen
us to be more than we could ever be and help us to do that which we
could never do through relying upon only our own power.
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
“For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28–30).
I
declare my witness of and appreciation for the infinite and eternal
sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ. I know the Savior lives. I have
experienced both His redeeming power and His enabling power, and I
testify that these powers are real and available to each of us. Indeed,
“in the strength of the Lord” we can do and overcome all things as we
press forward on our journey of mortality." -Elder David A Bednar
