We live in a world where peace can seem elusive. Is it possible to find peace in the midst of a pandemic and civil unrest?
I’m not going to sugar coat things. Times are hard. But could there actually be an opportunity here for introspection and spiritual growth?
The fact that we are living on the earth during this historic time, is truly amazing. 2020 has brought us to our knees. It’s woken us up to the purpose of life. It’s made us more aware of our neighbor.
2020 has taught us that we are all part of God’s family on earth. It’s pulled back our facades and shown us our humanness. It’s made us realize just how much we need each other.
Could it be that 2020 has actually opened up our eyes in ways that nothing else could?
The scriptures refer to two types of peace that we hope for in our lives. One is the absence of war, turmoil, and strife among nations, the other is the inner peace of the soul.
Christ can bring that inner peace to our souls. Christ is where we can turn for peace and solace.
I hope that we can all feel that inner peace as we listen to general conference.
Sincerely,
Sister Ruward, Relief Society 2nd Counselor
