A portion of His Spirit

 

A birthday gift for a boy in our Sunday School class who really likes the story of Ammon from the Book of Mormon! Ammon said these words to the Lamanite king when asked how he was able to withstand the attacks from so many enemies earlier. Ammon gave all the credit to God, explaining that His Spirit gave him both knowledge and power as long as he was faithful. We too can be powerful like Ammon when we trust in the Lord.

Strength to Run

It can be discouraging to look at the progress and accomplishments of others and feel like we're being left behind. Just remember that everyone has their own unique set of abilities and challenges. God is pleased with whatever you can give, however large or small our offering may appear. And if we have means to spare, He's especially pleased when we lend what we have to others!

Strong and of good courage

Dedicated to a friend. :-) God believes in you. He will not abandon you if you will reach out to Him. You may not feel strong on your own, but with God, you can overcome any obstacle. The trials you are facing may be frightening, but with God, you can face them. Be strong and of good courage!
