I'm always struck by the JOY of the finder! So glad you got to be a finder!Apis Melliflorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109379329293289328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995129684573254340.post-76468661423955585602013-03-22T04:25:26.803-07:002013-03-22T04:25:26.803-07:00Such a beautiful and reverent post.

Holland,<br />On the eve of Jesus Christ’s suffering in Gethsemane, He issued this benediction to His disciples: “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you. … Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27). Of this invitation, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said, “[This] may be one of the Savior’s commandments that is, even in the hearts of otherwise faithful Latter-day Saints, almost universally disobeyed; and yet I wonder whether our resistance to this invitation could be any more grievous to the Lord’s merciful heart.” Elder Holland added, “I am convinced that none of us can appreciate how deeply it wounds the loving heart of the Savior of the world when he finds that his people do not feel confident in his care or secure in his hands.” <br />I love that you do feel confident and secure in His care.
