    My all-time Favorite Message from Elder Jeffrey Holland who was my BYU President, MTC President, and Apostle. This message has filled my spiritual "radiator" through dark days, family deaths, feelings of worthlessness, and now Major Surgery this week. It is incredible how much hurt one can feel and at the same time angels are holding you close to go through one's ordeal. Don't you give up! Hold on and blessings will come , I testify in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

    Although I am not an official member, i go to church every sunday, I often to missionary discussions, i read my scriptures everyday and pray each day and I live the gospel. I am 17 years old and my parents are basically anti-mormon and it is the most difficult trial i have ever had to face. My mom told me i can't go to church anymore and we often argue over our beliefs. Its been hard but i know that good things will come and we will both be okay.

      +isabelle Aurora That must be very difficult to not be able to go to church. Patience is the hardest lesson that our Heavenly Father teaches us. I promise that if you are patient and you keep doing the other things that the missionaries have taught you that you will be able to go to church again and be baptized. "There are good things to come" :]

      +isabelle Aurora hang on! My dad went through the same thing at your age. Now he is a grandpa and all his kids have been sealed in the temple. And his mother, after many years, was baptized and died faithful to the church. You'll make it and leave a path for your family to follow, and your children will be forever grateful for your faithfulness! .... as I am for my Fathers choice to be faithful to what he knew to be true.

    On Friday, March 9, 2012 my sister lost her forever husband in a tragic avalanche. She is left to raise her 4 kids (ranging in age from 13 months to 7 years). She is an inspiration to me; she knows of our Hevenly Father's plan, and has said of the peace that she has felt over the past 5 days. Elder Holland's message confirms to me that there are "good things to come". Our heavenly father wants to bless us and through our faith and service good things will come!

    "Don't you quit. You keep walking. You keep trying. There is help and happiness ahead. Some blessings come soon. Some come late. And some don't come till Heaven. But for those who embrace the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they come. It will be alright in the end. Trust God, and believe in good things to come!"

    Elder Holland is a favorite speaker of mine. His talks always make me emotional and always increase my faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm writing this in 2023 and Elder Holland has been ill. I don't know what I will do if Heavenly Father decides it's time for him to return. He would be sorely missed by so many people, not just me. I want to somehow meet him and talk to him. Let him know how much influence he has given me. Because of him, I don't give up. I keep on trying. I think my blessing will come in Heaven. I'm 71 now. Too late for a husband. But my faith in the Gospel is strong. I won't give up.

    • @purplerain0517
      @purplerain0517 ปีที่แล้ว

      Being vulnerable is really hard for me, and I'm really sensitive so please be kind with your response. (Autism, ADHD, CPTSD, and BPD. = extreme heightened emotional response, and rejection sensitivity dysphoria)
      I honestly didn't have my own personal testimony until I was 20 years old. Maybe 21.
      I piggybacked off my mom's because...I trusted her.
      But, I had a rough...entire life. I had a lot of abuse, neglect, cruel bullying, abandonment, addictions, habits, and lifestyle And I was accustomed to all of it.
      I practically had just - accepted my lot in life, and was hoping one day it would get better, and until that day came, I was just going to enjoy life to it's "fullest".
      ...then I got pregnant, and her father left me before she was born. And - crap got real... real quick.
      I was desperate for answers.
      Please appreciate, I was...a "proud", self assured, egocentric know it all.
      I always would be like "yeah the church is true." Because my mom told me. There's a difference between believing, and knowing. I believed her. I believed...my MOM... about a religion. The eternal fate of my soul was rested ...in her. In my belief in my mom. My MOTHER. Not God. And...I needed to know! There is Nothing wrong with borrowing someone's testimony until you develop your own! But I had been a member since I was 8....
      I felt sheepish that I hadn't bothered asking God for answers...
      No alcohol or sex before marriage or doing mushrooms ( I hadn't done mushrooms yet but I wanted to, because I suffer from deplorable curiosity and wanting to understand everything I wonder about.) But Giving up cigarettes and boys... and bikinis... the idea was ... overwhelmingly sucky to my brain! (My trauma child and the fact I'm just stubborn too...)
      But...I also knew I had been given a life to take care of, and that I was being trusted with her. I needed to know for my daughter, as well as myself.
      So I prayed. Not like "well God, here I am. So... I need an answer now, or I'm not gonna believe in you." But the desperate desires of a loving Mother who truly feels the unshakable need to protect my kids from anything untrue. Because, I love her sooooo much. My capacity for love is so strong because of heightened emotional response, but also because of my compassion and empathy and desire to BE loved. I wanted so badly to be loved too. That part I didn't realize until I started writing this.
      A lot of people try to ask me "How do you know for sure you weren't just making yourself feel good about it, because you wanted it to be true.?
      Well, because I fell off the wagon and tried mushrooms..(much later in life) and because when I was in labor, my blood pressure spiked so high, I hallucinated. 😮😮 (funny story different time)
      ...hallucinations are different.
      There is just no way my jacked uo brain that was so traumatized could possibly have produced that much norepinephrine, adrenaline, serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins mixed with .... extremely concentrated amounts of warmth, and love, and peace, and joy, and comfort, and compassion, and acceptance and safety and...light. and somehow... the unmistakable, undeniable knowledge of a Father's love.
      And I'm not going to pretend that from that point on I've been an exemplary member of the church. Far from it.
      I'm a recovering alcoholic and addict, and have had many "adventures" that no Father wants to hear, or see from their beloved daughter.
      But I couldn't ever deny the Gospel, not even in my darkest of addictions or how intoxicated I was.
      I would have very strong (slurred) words with anyone who tried talking badly about the church...
      It's taken me my entire life, and meeting...the most important man in my life to discover the true depths of my purpose here on earth, and How important we ALL are..
      That... there are indeed some who have been blessed with amazing talents and abilities.
      Some people have been given knowledge, or Faith, compassion, wisdom, humor, song, communication, art, strength, tenacity, courage, bravery, integrity, faith...
      I'll share this poem with you. It was written with love, and hope and peace and... my daughter in mind.

    I listened to this talk via satellite in Stuttgart Germany when I was only 5 months green on my mission. It made an impression on me at that time, but years later when I went back to find it, I couldn't seem to find the talk. Then, here it appears on TH-cam. Over 10 years later, the impression has only become more meaningful and understandable.

    This short video has been a strong inspiration for me in my life. I worry about being a good husband to my wonderful wife. God bless her for wonderful person she is. I often view myself as the husband in the video. Lost at what to do on occasion. But the Gospel of Jesus Christ is powerful. It gives me strength to carry on. To be a little better, and to try a little harder. "You keep trying". There are good things to come.

    Isn’t it so nice that God is so willing to give you blessings, so long as you give EVERYTHING to him? I’m so glad God requires me to put him first in my life and in everything I do. to make him number one, above family and personal needs. He’s a god of infinite love and charity, but i love that he chooses not to exercise that love and charity unless I am obedient and put him first. What a great gospel this is!

    My missionary sister played this to me this evening. She leaves tomorrow morning and i couldn't stop crying. Im a new member and I have found things hard recently but everytime I'm down my two sisters always picked me up. The gospel has helped me find peace in myself the love my brothers and sisters have shown me has so much for me to take. I have lived in spiritual darkness for so long I never saw the light. If it wasn't for my sisters I'd never be here bearing my testimony. This gospel this book is so true I see Heavenly fathers love manifest itself in the people I meet. All the members here help the missionaries in anyway you can they give every inch of their soul they do get tired they do get stressed. I say this in the name of Jesus Christ amen

    It reminded me of a story someone shared in Elders Quorum yesterday of moving him and his family in an old RV that needed quite a bit of engine work. Every so often he would have to stop and tune the engine and keep going. Eventually the RV quit, it wasn't going anywhere. After all the tuning and work he could do, he had given his all, he knelt and prayed and got it to start, and got that thing doing 60 uphill. The next town they came to was Grace, Idaho.

      You don’t have to be. The message is about love and helpings others and not giving up on yourself or life. To remember to look back and be grateful for what you have; and for those things we have been given when we needed it the most. Clearly you have a good heart to enjoy these kinds of videos. That’s the beauty of it. I want you know much love and goodness I see you have inside your heart. You don’t have to be part of any religion or group to recognize the beauty inside a person.

    I have a strong testimony that this message is 100% true. Back in 2016, I was watching this video due to some disappointments and confusion in my life. I put the lord first in my heart, and that is what later caused confusion in my personal life. Now, here I am in 2020 and now the disappointments and confusions can easily be forgotten about. I was worried that putting the lord first in my heart ruined good opportunities in life forever. I now have gotten those good opportunities. My main point is that if we trust the lord and make him our number one priority, then he will direct us in our lives, and make those disappointments forgotten about. Good things will definitely come when we think about the lord first and realize that if we make him our number one priority, then he will never disappoint us. It took 4 years for those disappointments to be forgotten. Some things take time, but they will come if we just have faith and keep doing what’s right.

    I am so very grateful for this message. I believe it is inspired of God. It is hard to speak with people about religion with people who have differing beliefs, but the message here is unmistakable. There is a passage in the bible regarding the Savior that speaks volumes, "He went about doing good." The spirit of this video is just that. Therefore I believe it is of God. I am still wiping the tears away in gratitude that God has prophets on the earth again. Thank you Elder Holland.

I know that Christ knows my hardships, and that he alone can get my through each and every one of them. I'm so grateful for the gospel of Christ!

Have faith and hope and good things will happen if you look in the right place. Your parents both here on earth and in heaven are cheering you on. So, don't stop walking.

    It is a great message. I visited St. George to look at a house, I was in poor health at the time and could not drive any further and the property in Arizona I was driving to see next fell through. My health improved in St. George and I believe it was a sign for me to be here. I think the car breaking down was a sign for them to stay there and live there and find GOD there.

    I have left The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.. leaving and being outside of the church is hard.. but that vehicle that continually fails you isn’t going to get you to your desired destination.. but believe me this message still holds true.. good things come. Things get better.. don’t you quit.

    I'm in my 2nd year of medical school. 35 years old, married with 4 kids who have so patiently waited for their dad to make his dream come true - of becoming a physician. I'm in the thick of studying for my Step 1 exam, it's incredibly overwhelming and much more so as an older guy with a family depending on you. I always come back to this talk when I feel like I can't go on. Someday, someday I'll come back to the library where I studied 18hrs a day and I'll thank God for giving me the will to not walk away from this, just because it's hard and I feel like I'm not smart enough. There truly is happiness up ahead, if we just keep walking we'll get there.

    Yes, good things will come to those who believe and HOPE. I just finished a long hard year with cancer and had days when I thought I would "give up" although the doctors will not tell me I am cancer free, I am the happiest I have ever been in my life. That happiness comes from knowing HE LIVES and that he lifted and carried me through the rough times..... don't quit

This video is like Heavenly Father talking to me.
