“…but that I
might more fully persuade them to believe in the Lord their Redeemer I did read
unto them that which was written by the prophet Isaiah; for I did liken all
scriptures unto us…that ye (we) may have hope….” The whole point of the Gospel of Christ is to
give us hope. We, who are hopelessly
groping our way in sin, still can be happy in this life and the next; but only
if we repent and change our hearts, rendering ourselves unto God, completely
and fully. We, who tend to rationalize
our selfishness; we who ignore our Lord and trample him under our feet, as
Nephi says it; we who go after the gods of this world; we who quit; we who lack
faith; we who fall short; can have hope in that one Being who can give it. He loves us completely and forever. We must place our hope in him. Then our hope will overcome our fear and
doubt and become faith.
