"Faith Like A Grain of Mustard Seed" by Pres. Kim B. Clark

Some blippits that I loved from a BYU-Idaho devotional.

"When we act in faith in Christ, we take action to keep our covenants in the face of opposition, even before we know how things are going to work out."

"President Eyring has taught, 'Increased spiritual strength is a gift from God which He can give when we push in His service to our limits.' That is where we find our personal frontier. There is a personal frontier for each one of us in every covenant, commandment, calling, and assignment we recieve from the Lord. The frontier is defined by the light we have already received and by our knowledge, understanding, skill and experience...

At the frontier we can't see how it is going to work. We can't see how to do what lies before us. We don't know what to do. We don't feel we have the ability to do it. That is the frontier.

The frontier is where the Savior works. It is where we keep our covenants by acting in faith in Christ. We face opposition and hard decisions, and we act in faith in Christ trusting that the Lord will open the way. We pray for help, and then we go to work- we study hard; we see out the angels in the tutoring center; we talk to our roommates; we go to the bishop; we dress modestly; we work to forgive; we raise our hand in class; we take the internship and a thousand other things with faith in the Lord Jesus Christ...

And so the Lord Jesus Christ stands at the frontier-at every personal frontier- with His arm of mercy stretched out inviting us to come unto Him, exercise faith in Him, and be blessed through His power."

This talk helped me to see that I need to keep going. Life is like climbing a mountain... we can't see the end through all the trees, and sometimes it feels like we aren't making any progress at all, but if we were to climb one of those trees and see how far we've come it would change the way that we look at life. My mom always says you just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other, we'll get there eventually. We just have to keep going, we have to keep climbing.
