From his talk, we can know that President Nelson has so much optimism for the future and it gives so much hope!
A New Normal
by President Russell M. Nelson
He begin by expressing his concern for all of us:
“I have asked the Lord to help me understand what you are feeling, worrying about, or trying to resolve. I have wondered what I might say to conclude this conference that would send you forth with the optimism about the future that I know the Lord wants you to feel.”
“We live in a glorious age, foreseen by prophets for centuries. This is the dispensation when no spiritual blessing will be withheld from the righteous. Despite the world’s commotion, the Lord would have us look forward to the future “with joyful anticipation.”
“Let us not spin our wheels in the memories of yesterday. The gathering of Israel moves forward. The Lord Jesus Christ directs the affairs of His Church, and it will achieve its divine objectives.”
President Nelson knows our challenges is to make certain that each of us will achieve our divine potential.
“If you really want to embrace a new normal, I invite you to turn your heart, mind, and soul increasingly to our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. Let that be your new normal.”
He outlines some actions steps for us to embrace our new normal:
- Repenting daily.
- Seek to be increasingly pure in thought, word, and deed.
- Minister to others.
- Keep an eternal perspective.
- Magnify your callings.
- And whatever your challenges, my dear brothers and sisters, live each day so that you are more prepared to meet your Maker.
- Build and maintain yourself so you can be worthy to enter the holy temple.
I know that as I follow the Prophet and do all these things, I can gain the power to embrace the new normal that has been put upon us in these times.
He leaves a beautiful blessing upon us,
“I bless you to be filled with the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ. His peace is beyond all mortal understanding. I bless you with an increased desire and ability to obey the laws of God. I promise that as you do, you will be showered with blessings, including greater courage, increased personal revelation, sweeter harmony in your homes, and joy even amid uncertainty.”
“May we go forward together to fulfill our divine mandate—that of preparing ourselves and the world for the Second Coming of the Lord.”
