Les écritures nous prouvent que les choses sont vraies
Mais avec persévérance et foi nous nous fortifions
Le coeur, l’esprit, jamais même nous devons renoncer
Jésus Christ a donné sa vie d’une part par sa crucifixion

D’autre part en aidant autrui, les plus démunis, les malheureux
Les sans domiciles, les lépreux, et tout ceux qui sont mal
Nous savons tous que ces personnes n’iront pas dans le feu
Père Céleste veut notre bonheur, et non entendre notre râle

Grâce à toutes les Révélations, j’ai beaucoup appris
Sur moi-même, sur la vie en général, sur aussi la mort
Depuis peu j’ai reçu le don, par l’imposition des mains, de l’Esprit
La joie dans mon coeur, mon âme reste remplis de remords

Non, rassurez-vous je n’ai pas du tout perdu la foi
Les gens, la vie peuvent nous mener en bateau, ce sont des épreuves
L’Espérance, l’Humilité, la Joie, l’Aide au prochain sont de belles oeuvres
Nous avons tous un fardeau que la vie nous donne, un Poids

Jamais, non jamais, il ne faut désespérer, jamais vous Entendez !!
Les épreuves nous fortifient, nos frères et soeurs sont  l�
Dans les moments difficiles, là pour vous écouter
Vivez toute votre vie de souffrance jusqu’au trépas

“La vie peut-être belle, grâce à Vous”

Part 2; a Reformation - http://blog.risinggeneration.org/909/reformation

And in the blink of an eye the conversation had turned to the subject of my religion.  Some poeple lock up when it comes to telling people what they believe in, but not me.  I love telling people what I think. Read the rest of this entry »

A couple of weeks ago I met a vendor at the mall, named Nathaniel. He was a black man dressed in business casual and his composure suggested he had all of the secrets of life stored up in his forehead. When he looked at me it was an instant transference of confidence; confidence in him, confidence in myself, and confidence in the message he had to share with me. Now I’ll continue with my story where I left off last week, and in case you missed it here’s the link that will take you to it: Missionary Moment @ Eastern Oils.

“Woohoo! Darth Vader has found religion!” I cheered to Nathaniel, fully understanding the metaphore he had presented to me. He was comparing himself to Star Wars’ youngest protagonist Anakin Skywalker. Anakin grew up as a slave, won a race for his freedom and started training in the supernatural religion of the “Jedi.” However, before Anakin could complete his training, he was decieved by a wicked Dark Lord. Anakin followed the Dark Lord and became caught up in the snares of power–before he knew it he had become “Darth Vader,” the right hand of evil. Read the rest of this entry »

“And again, I knew that the Lord had delivered Laban into my hands for this cause—that I might obtain the records according to his commandments. Therefore I did obey the voice of the Spirit, and took Laban by the hair of the head, and I smote off his head with his own sword (1 Nephi 4:17-18).”

Nephi was willing to do anything God asked him to. When God did not give him clear instructions on how to accomplish something, Nephi illustrated his faith, obedience, determination, and ingenuity until God finally showed the way.  In other words, the path ahead was not always clear, but Nephi always persevered and obeyed God’s will. This reciprocal relationship, whereby God provided the means so that Nephi could strive and ultimately succeed at obeying God’s will, is in part how everyone, including young adults, should understand their relationship to their Heavenly Father.

Welcome to Frank’s take on despair.This post will deal with despair as rationalized sadness, or how to deal with it when life kicks you in the pants!

What you have to remember about this is that despair is not a sin. Let me repeat that: Rationalized sadness which you won’t let go of is not a sin. It is, however, a tool which Satan uses to try to get us to sin. Read the rest of this entry »
