Woke up early this morning and this talk was on my mind, December 27th, 2017.
When He says to the poor in spirit, “Come unto me,” He means He knows the way out and He knows the way up… It seems clear that the essence of our duty and the fundamental requirement of our mortal life is captured in these brief phrases from any number of scenes in the Savior’s mortal ministry. He is saying to us, “Trust me, learn of me, do what I do. Then, when you walk where I am going,” He says, “we can talk about where you are going, and the problems you face and the troubles you have. If you will follow me, I will lead you out of darkness,” He promises. “I will give you answers to your prayers. I will give you rest to your souls.”1“Broken Things to Mend”
