“Our Heavenly Father did not launch us on our eternal journey without providing the means whereby we could receive from Him God-given guidance to assist in our safe return at the end of mortal life. . . . Each of us has come to this earth with all the tools necessary to make correct choices.”

One of the main messages that seemed to be a recurring theme throughout the Saturday afternoon session of General Conference was: Satan is active, and we must be active in defending ourselves and our families. Bishop Edgely’s comments confirmed this message and highlighted the power we have as we make the choice to be faithful.
I really liked how he stated that we do not have to understand all things to have a solid faith about matters of salvation. I try to not get hung up on the unanswered questions and do what he said: “bridge the gap with my faith and move on.” No matter where we are in our testimonies, we can make choices to act in accordance to the faith we have already acquired and prepare our testimonies to grow.
“Yes, faith is a choice, and it must be sought after and developed. Thus, we are responsible for our own faith. We are also responsible for our lack of faith. The choice is yours.”
