some videos I saw today.

So today on the YouTube channel, Mormon Messages Elder House and I watched a couple of videos that really touched me.  They were about forgiveness, strength, fortitude, and most importantly Jesus Christ.  All of them talked about how it was through Jesus Christ that they were really able to deal with the things that had happened in their lives.  It sure helps me to know once again that we all have personal challenges and concerns, but it's through the Savior and his teachings that we can receive the help and courage we need.
   As we strengthen our testimonies in Jesus Christ we are able to better deal with the difficulties of life.  Not that we wont have hard times if we gain that testimony, but that it will be easier.  There is no doubt in my mind that It's through Jesus Christ we can "Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee." Duet. 31:6  He will always be there to lift those with feeble knees.  Which reminds me of another scripture, a scripture I love to share with investigators who want to be baptized, or who are unsure. It's in Mosiah 18:8-9.  Where Alma is teaching in private at the waters of Mormon. 
  8.And now, as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God, and to be called his people, and are willing to bear one another's burdens, that they may be light;
  9.Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of  God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God.
   So if we take upon ourselves the name of Christ when we are baptized, and promise to do these things then Jesus Christ has already promised to do these things for us.  We can always rely on him to mourn with us when we mourn, and to comfort us when we need comfort.  Most importantly I believe is that he has already borne our burdens.  He knows and understands exactly what we are going through. 
  I testify of all of this.  I know God hears and answers prayers, I know he will succor, or in other words, run to us to help, provide service to.  I hope this can help those who's heads hang down. 
   Love, Elder Austin Gene Goff
