    For anyone who feels like God is not there, this is your reminder that he is there. He's in all places, God is Good.

      Awhile ago I repented to God then begged for help, "I was until then an Atheist."
      I then had a dream of Jesus coming before God and he spoke of the Tabernacle in perfect context, "A word I didn't know existed.", and what I felt from Jesus when I held him was unlike anything I've ever felt before - A lifetime of Love every second - It brought me to sobbing and it changed my life, forever.
      I've had other experiences since, "Several witnessed", one was seeing a bright orb of light pass across my face in the dark, hours before a major surgery the second I gave up in my heart.
      Know that God and Jesus ARE real and that they Love us deeply. Let go of your hatred and Imagine yourself holding the people who've hurt you. Tell them you Love them.
      Always have hope, I believe that prayer, following God's laws & Love is the answer, and through that, becoming humble, merciful, welcoming, giving, and forgiving, To All.

      @@narsakucanada154 I had the same experience. I felt hopeless, then i thought to myself, if god is real, lets give it a chance. And so i prayed, with sincerity for the first time in my life, and i got my answer. He is wonderful, we just need to seek him!
      "How can we feel happiness if we havent felt sadness?" was something i heard from somewhere, and it made me open my eyes.

    People can judge others all day long, but when you see true experiences, it will hopefully change your heart to God's heart. Loving our brothers and sisters back to better mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health is what our Savior Jesus Christ does. As His disciples, we must walk with Him and be part of these refugee efforts 🙏🏼🫂💞💜

    We love our community of diversity and unity. Our Stake has a Spanish Ward, a Portuguese Ward, and a Samoan Ward meets in our building. A family in our ward is from the Congo and Nigeria, and they started the Refugee Program for Utah County. I'm so grateful to them, for their examples, and friendship. Several others from Africa in our neighborhood are also a blessing to us here. We all can stretch to meet each other's needs and be of true support. ツ Deep down, we all hope for Zion by creating it now, hopefully! Blessings to all!

    whether we are brown, black, white, lesbian, gay, transgender, asian, latino, native american, straight, non-member, member, anyone......we are all beautiful children of Heavenly Father. This church teaches that we must care and love everyone. It pains my heart when i see "memeber" being racist or disrespecting others. There is enough hate in this world. It needs more kindness and service. Thank you

I’m 87 now and a widow, but it does my heart good to see those who are opening their hearts in their homes to others, as we have done, because that is the source of all joy to share.

    Moving on is a hard part of life but, you need to move on to be able to live your best life. Through the help of others it makes things so much easier. I speak from experience. My best friend helped me through a hard time yesterday just by talking to me. Sometimes it feels like he is here for me and only me. I love him a lot

    No hay mayor amor, que este que Dios, por medio de Jesús nos dió y nos enseñó. Amar al prójimo como a Dios, pues mi hermano, mi hermana es la imagen de Dios el creador. Al mirar a mis hermanos y hermana, veo al creador. El amor de Jesús y la caridad, son pasaportes para entrar al Reino!!!! Que El Padre Celestial nos ayude, caminar al cielo cada día, como al guíen dijo:"hacer el bién siempre, porque el mal no descanza" Testificó en el nombre de Jesús!!! 🇺🇾🙋‍♀️💞

      Now if only the church would do that, less than 1% of the churches money goes to help the poor, with all the money they have they could end homelessness around the world, they say they want us to try to be like Jesus. Well Jesus wouldn't have invested money in businesses, and built fancy buildings, he would have used that money to help people live

    I've been trying to get help for Ukrainian refugee's in my area from local Church leadership and haven't been successful. I also have tried to contact Church headquarters for assistance but they tell me to work through local leadership. We have over 500 Ukrainian refugee families with pregnant women, women who are here by themselves with 5 kids and their husbands are at war or dead and I can't do this on my own. Please Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint's pass this onto someone who can talk with me. I have pages of notes and needs I'm a member of the church and for 4 months have been working directly with these people. God bless you and God bless His children who suffer
