40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 32
TALK: “Trust Again" by Elder Gerrit W. Gong
JESUS CHRIST:
“We can always trust God. The Lord knows us better and loves us more than we know or love ourselves. His infinite love and perfect knowledge of past, present, and future make His covenants and promises constant and sure.”
-Gerrit W. Gong
SCRIPTURE:
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?”..“Neither death, nor life, … nor height, nor depth … shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
-Romans 8:35, 38-39
INSPIRING QUOTE:
“My message today is, whether we are coming home or going home, God is coming to meet us. In Him we can find faith and courage, wisdom and discernment to trust again. Likewise, He asks us to keep the light on for each other, to be more forgiving and less judgmental of ourselves and each other, so His Church can be a place where we feel at home, whether we are coming for the first time or returning.”
-Gerrit W. Gong
INVITATION TO ACT:
“He invites us to make our congregations, quorums, classes, and activities open, authentic, safe—home for each other. With kindness, understanding, and mutual respect, we each humbly seek the Lord and pray and welcome His restored gospel blessings for all.”
-Gerrit W. Gong
PROMISED BLESSING:
“Our life journeys are individual, but we can come again to God our Father and His Beloved Son through trust in God, each other, and ourselves. Jesus beckons, ‘Be not afraid, only believe.’ (Mark 5:36) As did the Prophet Joseph, undaunted may we trust in our Heavenly Father’s care. Dear brother, dear sister, dear friend, please look again for faith and trust—a miracle He promises you today.”
-Gerrit W. Gong
REFLECTION QUESTION:
- What invitation or calling have I accepted that built trust in God?
LEARNING STYLE STUDY IDEA:
MUSIC LEARNERS: Two hymns are referenced in this talk, find other hymns and songs that teach the importance of trusting God.
MY THOUGHTS:
TRUST…
Trust Heavenly Father…
Trust Jesus Christ…
Trust those I love the most—my husband, daughters, parents and siblings…
Trust my friends …
Trust my neighbors…
and TRUST MYSELF
And one last quote–“Thankfully, we can trust God’s perfect justice and perfect mercy to judge perfectly our intents and actions.” -Gerrit W. Gong
