Weak in the Heart.....

I have seen a "you tube" video of Elder Nelson all over face book lately.

It's a powerful message of hope.

Elder Nelson shared a personal story

 to give encouragement for when we feel" weak in the heart".

(I played this video over and over until I wrote down the words exactly.

I want this for my personal journal.

A wonderful reminder that I should

  read each and every day.

" I was in a small airplane and all of a sudden

 the engine on the wing caught fire.

 It exploded and burning oil was poured

 all over the right side of the airplane,

and we started to dive towards the earth.

 We were spinning down to our death.

Oh, this woman across the aisle, I was so sorry for her.

 For she was uncontrollably hysterical, and I was calm.

I was totally calm even though I knew

 I was going down to my death. I was ready to meet my maker.

We didn't crash, we didn't die.

The spiral dive extinguished the flame

 and the pilot got control and started

 the other engine up and we made an

emergency landing out in the field.

But I thought through that experience,

 if you've got enough faith you can

 handle difficulties knowing

 that with an Eternal perspective, that all will be well. 

IN lUKE 21 THE EARTH SHALL BE IN DISTRESS,

 NATIONS WITH PERPLEXICTY

 WILL SEIGE AND THE WAVES ROARING.

MEN'S HEARTS FAILING THEM FOR FEAR.

 WHAT WERE SEEING IS THE PREDICTION

THAT IN THESE LATTER DAYS,

 PEOPLE WILL BE AFRAID,

 MEN'S HEARTS ARE FAILING AND

 THAT INCLUDES WOMEN,

 BECAUSE THEY FORGET

 THEIR IDENTITY AND THEIR PURPOSE.

Heartaches will come. I've lived through the death of a wife and the death of a

daughter. I've seen the troubles that divorce brings,

 children or grandchildren go astray, disability, illness, injuries.

To the individual who is weak in the heart,

 fearful in the heart, be patient with

yourself. Perfection comes not

 in this life but in the next life.

Don't demand things that

are unreasonable,

 but demand of yourself improvement.

As you let the Lord help you through that, he will make the difference. I'm so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ that allows me that kind of strength in these tumultuous times."

I love this message.

Feel free to share it with others.
