“On the night
of the greatest suffering the world has ever known or will ever know, He said, “Pease
I leave with you, my peace I give unto you….Let not your hearts be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:26-27)
“I submit to
you that may be one of the Saviour’s commandments that is, even in the hearts
of otherwise faithful Latter-day Saints, almost universally disobeyed; and yet
I wonder whether our resistance to this invitation could be anymore grievous to
the Lord’s merciful heart.
“I can tell
you this as a parent. As concerned as I would be if somewhere in their lives one
of my children were seriously troubled or unhappy or disobedient, I would be infinitely more devastated if I
felt that at such a time that child could not trust me to help, or should feel
his or her interest were unimportant to me or unsafe in my care.
“In that same
spirit, I am convinced that none of us can appreciate how deeply it wounds the
loving heart of the Saviour when He finds that His people do not feel confident
in His care or secure in His hands or trust in His commandments.”

You come to me to dispel the darkness
And embrace me in the splendour of Your
light.
Even in the midst of Your Godly moments
You attend to the needs of my feeble heart.
I give my all to You who are
My wings of protection,
The Saviour of my soul,
The path to my eternal home.
