"Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."--The Conductor from The Polar Express
Last night, I watched The Polar Express. It is one of my favorite Christmas movies ever. As I have reflected on the recent events and changes in my life, this quote really hit home for me. A lot of things have not been in my favor lately. I have been struggling to be happy and understand that Heavenly Father is in control and that what he is doing will make me happy. Sometimes it is good to have a reminder that Heavenly Father loves me and cares about me and knows what is best for me and what will make me happy. I just need to have faith in Him and His timing.
"And now as I said concerning faith--faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true."--Alma 32:21
"And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith."--Ether 12:6
"And if thou shouldst be cast into the pit, or into the hands of murderers, and the sentence of death passed upon thee; if thou be cast into the deep; if the billowing surge conspire against thee; if fierce winds become thine enemy; if the heavens gather blackness, and all the elements combine to hedge up the way; and above all, if the very jaws of hell shall gape open the mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good." D&C 122:7! Love ya!
