Peace, Hope and Love

As many of you may have heard, this past week there was a mass shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand. 50 and possibly more have died. My sorrowed heart hurts and grieves for the loss of those who passed away during this tragedy, the darkest day of New Zealand.

Doctrine and Covenants 105:38-40
38 And again I say unto you, sue for peace, not only to the people that have smitten you, but also to all people;
39 And lift up an ensign of peace, and make a proclamation of peace unto the ends of the earth;
40 And make proposals for peace unto those who have smitten you, according to the voice of the Spirit which is in you, and all things shall work together for your good

God will bring peace into the lives of the righteous, he will protect and bless the innocent. Continue to strive to make peace with enemies, stand out unto them.

Ether 12:4
Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God.

With hope we can strive to become better, continuously glorify God, and be an example to those struggling around us. Always hope for a better world, never doubt or give up on humanity.

Moroni 8:16
16 Wo be unto them that shall pervert the ways of the Lord after this manner, for they shall perish except they repent. Behold, I speak with boldness, having authority from God; and I fear not what man can do; for perfect love casteth out all fear.

With a perfect love, we can change the world. We will fear no man, and continue to do Gods work as he has asked us. Love everyone around you, especially when it's most difficult.

I know this gospel is true. It has blessed my life over and over. I know God is watching out for those all around the world, he will never leave our side. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.


Always much love,
Sister Keller
