The other night, all of my family (all the missionaries preparing to serve in the Pacific Islands) got together.
We sang and prayed and uplifted one another, more than I can even express... the Holy Ghost was powerful.
We read together the account in the Book of Mormon, where the people offer up all their weapons of rebellion, to God. And they make a covenant with Him, that they will never take up their weapons again. They literally buried them all in the earth. DEEP in the earth--as a sign to Heavenly Father, that they were earnest and were truly giving up those things.
Well, each one of us missionaries decided to write down our precious things, and our "weapons of rebellion" to any degree; things that the Holy Ghost told us we could offer up to God so we could be fully One with Him and fully consecrated in His will instead of ours to any degree.
We each privately wrote down things that were precious to us that we would give up and bury for the duration of our mission, so we could be fully One with Him and true disciples of Christ.
We took the papers we wrote these things on, and went up to the front of the room and tore up the paper into a basket.
Almost everyone in the room was crying, and the Spirit was so strong.
I know this:
that, "If in the end you haven't chosen Christ, it won't matter what you have chosen instead."
I testify, that that is the fullness and most thriving, eternal, best life. Let's rely on Christ more than we ever have before.
I testify that He is about to come. I testify that this is literally His church, and He leads and guides His living prophet, even Thomas S. Monson. Jesus Christ lives. Heavenly Father loves us and will help us and reach us to our highest potential and LITERAL FULLNESS OF JOY!!!!!!!!
THIS LIFE IS THE TIME TO CHOOSE JOY!!!
THIS LIFE IS THE TIME FOR JOY.
JESUS CHRIST IS THE WAY TO TRUE JOY.
