“My Love For The Savior Is My 'Why'” by Ricardo P. Giménez

QUOTE ABOUT JESUS CHRIST:

“With all the energy of my soul, I bear witness to the reality and divinity of our Savior, Jesus Christ. He loves you. He knows what is happening in your life. His arms are wide open, extending the invitation ‘Come unto me, … and I will give you rest.’” –Ricardo P. Giménez

SCRIPTURE:

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” -John 3:16

Having ascended into heaven, having the bowels of mercy; being filled with compassion towards the children of men; standing betwixt them and justice; having broken the bands of death, taken upon himself their iniquity and their transgressions, having redeemed them, and satisfied the demands of justice.” -Mosiah 15:8-9

INSPIRING QUOTE:

“The more we can connect the reason with our love for the Savior, the more we will be able to receive what we need or are seeking. President Nelson said, ‘Whatever questions or problems you have, the answer is always found in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.’ And then he extended this invitation: ‘Learn more about His Atonement, His love, His mercy, His doctrine, and His restored gospel of healing and progression. Turn to Him! Follow Him!’” –Ricardo P. Giménez

INVITATION TO ACT:

“Ponder this in your hearts and minds: Do you believe President Nelson’s invitation had the intention of helping us prepare a checklist where we will accumulate more knowledge and complete tasks so we can check off his invitation from our to-do lists? Or is he inviting us to consider the aspects of these eternal truths and principles as an opportunity to understand the ‘why’ and connect the Savior’s covenantal love for us with our lifelong discipleship journey?” –Ricardo P. Giménez

A PROMISED BLESSING:

“When we accept the invitation, understanding the ‘why’ behind it, we will have more opportunities to become closer to the Savior. We will begin to understand that because I love the Savior, I want to learn more about Him by studying the words of the living prophets. And because I love my fellow man, I will share the teachings of prophets, seers, and revelators with others, starting with my loved ones.” –Ricardo P. Giménez

REFLECTION QUESTION:

How can I link everything I do to my love for the Savior?
