Never Lose Hope

I'm at a stage of my life where my actions are scrutinized and I find that there are those lurking in dark corners waiting for me to slip up.
I'm also at that stage where I'm trying not to doubt myself in what I can do (particularly in my role as President of the Tongan students Association) - just because someone else is a more elaborate, charismatic speaker does not mean I have to try be one to. I've learnt (just now) that all I should do in trust in the Lord and never lose hope.

“My message to you today, my brothers and sisters, is simply this: the Lord is in control. He knows the end from the beginning. He has given us adequate instruction that, if followed, will see us safely through any crisis. His purposes will be fulfilled, and someday we will understand the eternal reasons for all of these events. Therefore, today we must be careful to not overreact, nor should we be caught up in extreme preparations; but what we must do is keep the commandments of God and never lose hope!”
- M. Russell Ballard, “The Joy of Hope Fulfilled,” Ensign, Nov. 1992, 31

May we never lose hope and continue trusting in the one who 'knows the end from the beginning'. In all thine ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your path.


Sincerely Yours,
- E
