“Each of us lives on a kind of spiritual
credit. One day the account will be closed, a settlement demanded. However
casually we may view it now, when that day comes and the foreclosure is imminent,
we will look around in restless agony for someone, anyone, to help us….
Unless there is a mediator, unless we have a
friend, the full weight of justice untampered, unsympathetic, must, positively
must, fall on us. The full recompense for every transgression, however minor or
however deep, will be exacted from us to the uttermost farthing.
But know this: truth, glorious truth, proclaims
there is such a Mediator.
“For there is one God, and one mediator between
God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Tim 2:5)
Through Him mercy can be fully extended to each
of us without offending the eternal law of justice. This truth is the very root
of Christian doctrine.”
(Boyd K. Packer, The Mediator, General
Conference April 1977
Be
still my soul
And
know that He leads you
By
the voice of His heart.
He
beckons and He calls
Your
spirit to ignite
To
truth and godly path.
His
love will find you,
He
will lead you and save your soul,
He
is the Shepherd
Who
will answer your call.
