Fireside with elder Christopherson May 17, 2014

Sister susie bailey-Hellman 5:12 when Christ is your foundation, you can get through anything. 
Alma 32:37If you put the important things first, you will be blessed.

Elder rasband- 3 nephi 11:15 the savior took time with every one.
17:9 Not just the dick n the blind- but afflicted in any manner. He healed ALL of them.
21 - one by one.
25- size of multitude was mentioned= 2, 500 souls, and he still took time one on one with them. When Christ comes again, he'll minister unto you, and unto me, one by one. God knows us each, one by one. 

Elder D. Todd christopherson- some people say they don't need a religion; for their a spiritual person, but don't need an organized religion. Well, apparently Christ thinks you need one; for he created one when he was on the earth. That's pretty selfish when you say you don't need religion. The Lord will provide what you cannot. Our God is a God of high expectations. God does love us as we are, but he wants us to progress; have all he has n be as happy as he is. So, he gives us commandments which are the ladder to climb closer to him.They're there to build your freedom. He loves you, yes; so you need to be better. It's better to be trusted than to be loved. We're all loved by God, which is wonderful! But, while he loves us all, how many of us can he trust? Count on to do his work? To turn to him n seek n do his will? This is the essence of discipleship. You can repent! Change now! Be a true disciple of Jesus Christ now! Forgiving is a way of lightening our load; sometimes a heavy burden we didn't know we were carrying. Don't ever think you're beyond redemption; one that God can't repair. You can! Everyone can change for the better, no matter what's happened in the past. High expectations, and wants to help us reach them. When you pray, you're no stranger. He knows you so perfectly well. And if you could see him right now, you'd know him perfectly well; for you lived with him for a while. So pray earnestly and frequently. No one need doubt. Look to him, and live your life according to His hopes and desires for you. Make it your wish to do his will. That's where you'll fulfill your mission. Don't be afraid to turn your life over to Heavenly Father. He directs this church = The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
