“In order for your faith to lead you to salvation, it must be centered in the Lord Jesus Christ. … You can exercise faith in Christ when you have an assurance that He exists, a correct idea of His character, and a knowledge that you are striving to live according to His will” (True to the Faith: A Gospel Reference [2004], 54).
Seminary today was incredible! We studied about Christ and having faith in him. We watched this video, which made me almost cry.- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUb1Kwlgitw
And I was asked to write how I would feel being there when he came to heal the people and bless the little children. And what I would ask to be healed from. Here's what I said:
There are no words that can express how I would feel. My joy would be so full, seeing him heal others, and his love for all. I feel like I might feel inadequate, like I wouldn't deserve to be healed or blessed. But I know he would heal me and he would show his love and I wouldn't even be able to comprehend the joy and the emotion I would feel. If he were to heal me, I would probably ask him to help with my ankles. I have weak ankles, so they sprain easily. Because I have sprained both now, they act up and it's painful. I'd also ask for help with my emotions. Then one of the bigger ones would be that ever since I was 5 I have had a skin condition called psoriasis, it doesn't hurt unless I scratch at it, but it's been on my skin for a long time and it just gets annoying. The fact that he could heal that amazes me. I would feel almost as if I did not deserve for him to take away those things, but I know he would. I know right now though in my life, even though I can't see him, if I have faith and pray for him to help me with the pain in my ankles, or help me feel love towards my siblings..he will heal me. He will help with my pains and my sorrows if only there is faith. He will answer all prayers with love and his healing power, if we but ask in faith.
Christ lives, and he loves us! He is always there for us and will heal us from our pains and afflictions. If you are struggling, pray. And he will pour out his great love to you! You will feel the comfort you need and experience the feeling of his compassion for you.
