Christ "healed them that had need of healing" (Luke 9:11)

Day 5 (Dec. 5th) #LIGHTtheWORLD
"Christ Healed the Sick, So Can You". Quick thoughts about healing the sick.

"And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where. ...And the people, when they knew it, followed [Jesus]: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing" (Luke 9:6, 11). We all need healing. As we come unto Christ, He will heal us. I know that as we are kind, loving, forgiving, and caring, we can help heal others too.

I love that my focus must be Christ and then I will receive riches to help others. "And after ye have obtained a hope in Christ ye shall obtain riches, if ye seek them; and ye will seek them for the intent to do good- to clothe the naked, and to feed the hungry, and to liberate the captive, and administer relief to the sick and the afflicted" (Jacob 2:19). There are so many people starving for the truth, for comfort in their afflictions, for relief from the many different kinds of pain. When we focus on Christ first, He will show us how and who we can help heal.

I am so grateful for the knowledge that "weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning" (Psalms 30:5). The promise of being healed is as sure as the sun will rise. This I testify.

The morning always comes. We can help heal others as we care and serve them in joy and gladness.

Day 5 (Dec. 5th) #LIGHTtheWORLD

"Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalms 46:10; D&C 202:16)

Day #5

Today, I am sharing two scriptures because they have the same statement in both of them that I strive to live by. They have become a part of my meditation and personal scripture study in a whole new way. Let me share them with you.

"Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth."

(Psalms 46:10 italics added)

"Therefore, let your hearts be comforted concerning Zion; for all flesh is in mine hands; be still and know that I am God." 

(D&C 101:16 italics added)

In this world that is rarely quiet, and in my mind that sometimes wants to just chatter away endlessly, this positive way of living, by being still, has really influenced my life for the better. When I try and follow this admonition from God, it is then that I can really feel and know what I need to do. It is in the stillness that I am able to receive personal revelation. It is in being still that I am taught the truths about God and His ways.

I can promise that if you follow this admonition, to take time to "be still" every day, even for 10 minutes or less, it will multiply your understanding and love of God and you will receive insight and comfort that you need in your life. This I testify.

The mountains are still there in all kinds of weather.
When I am still, and the storms rage, I come to know that God is always there.
The weather changes and things always get better.
