I once heard of a man who had decided that no matter what life through at him, he was going to be a Mormon. This has stuck with me. What he was really saying is that, he would have faith in The Lord and his church. He would endure. This is hard at times. Not because the Gospel isn’t true, but rather it’s hard to be true to the commandments. Isn’t it great to know that the loving arms of the savior are always ready to forgive.
Peter made a similar statement before The Lord was taken, beaten, and crucified, and ended up denying Him three times. But Peter was forgiven, and later made good on his promise by giving his very life for The Lord.
I’m sure there will be times when I will fall short. But come what may, I’m going to be a Mormon. A deciple of the living Christ. A member of His church.
