Risen with Healing in His Wings

One of the greatest gifts Christ gives us all is "healing in his wings" (3 Nephi 25:2).

There is nothing I or anyone else can say or post that can universally cure loneliness, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, or any other unique malady of today's day and age. While inspirational messages are good, I have learned that such messages have most impact when delivered directly, personally, and one by one. What we really need is connection. Doing my best to be there with love, faith, and positivity for others will most certainly be one of my new and ongoing "resolutions."

But in the meantime, I know that Jesus Christ can support you through and ultimately heal you from whatever struggles you are currently facing. He is a one by one Savior and Redeemer, he is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and he has said, "Have ye any that are sick... or that are afflicted in any manner? Bring them hither and I will heal them" (3 Nephi 17:7). I know this is true because I have been a personal recipient of his healing. Until I or someone else can, please reach out to him--because I know that he is really there for you, reaching out to you with healing in his wings.

Merry Christmas!

We feel gratitude that we are given many chances to improve and become better and holier. But if we don’t fully understand the scope of what Christ did in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the Cross of Calvary, and if we don’t really understand what it means that he paid the price of our sins, the effects of what we do on others can still paralyze us, even when God repeatedly tells us that we are forgiven and pleads for us to accept His gifts and move on. Consider Kyle, who is striving to follow Christ. One day, in a particularly stressful s...
