There will be times when the path ahead seems dark, but keep following the Savior. He knows the way; in fact, He is the way.6 The more earnestly you come unto Christ, the more deeply you will desire to help others experience what you have experienced. Another word for this feeling is charity, “which [the Father] hath bestowed […]
Write a story in which the path you are on is straight, on a course leading you back to your heavenly home to live in the presence of God. Let the adversity and affliction that are part of every good story be a means by which you draw closer to, and become more like, Jesus […]
