"These Things I Know"

One of my friends decided to do a countdown to conference by reading/listening to one conference talk of last session every day before conference. I ... am starting late! But I wanna try to do it! I did it for a little bit last session, but only blogged about a few of them. I think it is good to write down what you learn from the talks, not just what you hear. So... I wanna blog about what Elder Packer teaches me through the spirit. :) So come with me and learn gospel truths!! I know this is an OLD general conference talk but.... I think it's good to still review them :)

This is part of the poem Elder Packer wrote:

I know what He felt in Gethsemane

Is too much to comprehend.

I know He did it all for us;

We have no greater Friend.

I know that He will come anew

With power and in glory.

I know I will see Him once again

At the end of my life’s story.

I’ll kneel before His wounded feet;

I’ll feel His Spirit glow.

My whispering, quivering voice will say,

“My Lord, my God, I know."

These words are pure truth!! It's a blessing to know and understand that. What Christ did and felt for us is really too much to understand and we may never find out until that veil is lifted and we see him again. When we kneel at his feet, and rejoice in reuniting with our friend. Our brother. Our savior. We will remember him and remember all he did. We will understand. I can't wait for that day!!

Elder Packer also goes on to say that Satan's biggest target is families. He wants your family to fail because it is SO key to Gods plan. If he gets your family, he wins. Family relationships are so important. It is critical to keep good relationships and strong love for one another! Satan want's us to feel as though family isn't a key role in Heavenly Fathers plan. That is is not important. He wants us to get wrapped up in worldly, materialistic things. I believe a good job, education, and money are all important things. But no where near as important or rewarding as a loving, family. :)

Our Savior truly is our best friend. He would and has done everything for us. And continues to love us unconditionally even at time when we may not feel we deserve it. He is the only one who could know our every little flaw and still love us the same. And forgive us fully for our wrongdoings. I can't wait for the day when I see him again and I get to thank him for all he did for me. What a sweet even that day will be! To be re-united with my best friend, Savior, King and Brother for all eternity! I KNOW him. And I KNOW that day will come for all of us.
