Sacred Sunday: Our Family Motto

Look unto me in every thought;

doubt not, fear not.

D&C 6:36

             So, this is our family motto that we decided on about February of this year. Now for all of those who have teens in the church, you are probably aware that this is one of the new scripture mastery verses. We had no idea until we told my younger brother (16) that we had decided on this for our family motto and he pointed it out. I'm happy it is a new scripture mastery because I feel like it is a verse that shouldn't be skipped over.

          I love how simple and succinct the verse is. It is a straightforward command that basically sums up the church. If we look unto the Lord in every thought we will be following the gospel. In my Relief Society class today we talked about how we could be drawn away from living the gospel and what we narrowed it down to was: It takes courage to live the gospel, thus, if we are discouraged it can be hard to live the gospel. The second part of this verse addresses that: doubt not, fear not. Get rid of what discourages  you - doubt and fear. 

I hope you've had a lovely Sunday,

xoxo,
