What message are you getting?

Many of you who are reading this probably just checked your cell phone within the past few minutes or so. And if you didn't you probably just did because I made you think about it. There are many messages that come to us every day that try and catch our attention, things that try and persuade us one way or another. Commercials, text messages, billboards, facebook, salesmen, email, friends, politicians.... The list goes ON and ON!

Which message is most important to you? Well, many of these messages are here to distract us from the message our Heavenly Father wants us to pay more attention to. That is the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! His message is UNIVERSAL and for everyone on this earth to enjoy. The message is study the scriptures, pray, learn more of the truth, and build your own relationship with your Savior. Live the Gospel and focus on the message that matters. Share the message too and help others realize what they might be missing out on!

Don't get wrapped up

Imagine holding onto one link of a 30 foot long chain. Each link will represent a thing we are asked not to do. Now that link you hold onto is the one of those things that you are choosing hold onto and keep for yourself. as you continue to hold onto this link and go around doing whatever it is you are doing, hopefully trying to do good, the rest of the chain will slowly start to wrap around you. Eventually, you will be so tangled up in this chain until we are wrapped in all 30 feet of it making it impossible to move!

Imagine, if you dropped that chain link in the very beginning instead of holding onto it for so long! You wouldnt be dealing with all of the other sins that tag a long with holding onto one seemingly harmless thing! So before you get wrapped up, drop what you have and FREE  YOURSELF!

You can CHOOSE to drop that chain! Sterling W. Sill once stated “Satan has no power over us except as we give it to him. … God never forces us to do right, and Satan has no power to force us to do wrong”

We have agency, we have the choice to be free or to give Satan power over us! Let us all remember to drop the chain before it consumes us and BE FREE!
