D&C 6:36

(Aldste Cummings)

Hello!

I'm running a little short on time, so this won't be very long unfortunately.

This week was a good one. We've been investing a lot of time and energy into the area and we're starting to see the fruits! It's always good to see how good things can come of your personal hard work while also keeping in mind your place in the missionary work as a whole.

I love Doctrine and Covenants 6:36 because of it's bold simplicity. It teaches eternal truth with both clarity and power. The Lord teaches commands us to "look unto [Him] in every thought," as well as to "doubt not," and "fear not." We can clearly learn from this that when we put our faith in the Lord, we need not doubt or fear. In another light, however, what I have found in my own experience is that when we exercise all our energy to "look unto" Christ, our doubts and fears are expelled. A theme that modern prophets and apostles have taught recently is that darkness cannot exist in the presence of light. When we "look unto [Him] in every thought," how can we doubt? How can we fear?

Have a great week!

Love,
Äldste Cummings
