"Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. This is his true and living Church. He wishes us to come unto him, to follow him, to be comforted by him. Then he wishes us to give comfort to others. However halting our steps are toward him—though they shouldn’t be halting at all—his steps are never halting toward us. May we have enough faith to accept the goodness of God and the mercy of his Only Begotten Son. May we come unto him and his gospel and be healed. And may we do more to heal others in the process. When the storms of life make this difficult, may we still follow his bidding to “come,” keeping our eye fixed on him forever and single to his glory. In doing so we too will walk triumphantly over the swelling waves of life’s difficulties and remain unterrified amid any rising winds of despair." -Elder Holland, Come Unto Me
Sometimes it is easy to feel as though we are walking on water- in the sense that our footing is unsure on an ever-changing surface. Yet when we remember to look up and focus on the Savior, our worries about sinking will fade as we strive to reach him. And then we will realize that every step was a miracle made possible by Him.
