We have been recently taught that Trust adds a whole new dimension to Love.

What does that trust look like?

It might look like this,1 Nephi 4:6; And I was led by the Spirit, not knowing beforehand the things which I should do

Nephi was called to go get the plates, not how, but he trusted that God would help him, and God trusted that he would do the right thing.

He also knew how important the records were.
How often are we in a place to be trusted?

A place where we notice someones need?
A place where we notice someone alone?
A place where we notice an opportunity to help?

Is that how God trusts us to notice what He would notice, and do what He would do?

In 3rd Nephi 17, Every time Jesus Christ taught or said something we see He "cast his eyes round about the multitude." He was looking at the people.

5; And it came to pass that when Jesus had thus spoken, He cast his eyes round about again on the multitude, and beheld they were in tears, and did look steadfastly upon Him as if they would ask Him to tarry a little longer with them.

6; And he said unto them: Behold, my bowels are filled with compassion towards you.

He then asks, in verse 7; Have ye any that are sick among you? Bring them hither.

He then blessed them. We might not always know what to do, but God will help us do His work when we are in a places, go help someone.

We are surrounded with people. People who have problems, big and small, nonetheless we notice them, and we are in more of a spot to help them than someone who does not notice

As you were reading this you probably thought of someone you know that needs help.

Go help them.

God delegates and Satan make dependents.

God wants us to be profitable in our life, He wants us to be capable of handling any if every type of problem that comes our way, Satan wants us to to become as him, miserable and hopeless.

We are different than the world, because we are loved and trusted.

You may wonder why life is hard for you, why you struggle with the things you struggle with, and why your life is the way it is. But know, that God intends for you to overcome, and become greater than you can ever imagine. Someone who is capable.

That is why the plan is about becoming. That is why our life is challenging. That is how we grow, and then you can be the rock that your friends waves crash against.

Helaman 5:12; And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.

That is why you are trusted.

Trusted to be in the church of the almighty God, and his son Jesus Christ, trusted to have the blessings and privileges of the Priesthood and Covenants that bind you and give you more access to the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

There are currently over 8,000,000,000 billion people on the planet

There are over 17 million members of the church.

0.2% of the population.

Are you started to see why you are trusted and loved?

Do not let the world change you, bring you down, and step on you, when you are meant to change it, and bring it light.

On another note, Everything is going great here in Detroit. I had a baptism last week. Her name is Kim. My time is running short and I feel I have so much left to do. I am training two new missionaries right now and am in a trio. I love being a missionary and testifying of Jesus Christ. I am so grateful to be in His hands and go where he wants me to go. What an extreme privilege it is. May God bless each and every one you as you journey the path of life.
