Daily Gems

I get an email every day from lds.org called daily gems. It just has little bits from talks or articles. I have to admit that lately I have just deleted them without reading them. But, for some reason, I read this one. I really liked the idea of the message and so I am passing it on.

Demonstrating Enough Faith to Come unto the Savior
---------------------------------------------------

"We long to be close to the Lord, for we know that He loves each of us
and desires to encircle us 'eternally in the arms of his love' (2
Nephi 1:15). His touch can heal ailments spiritual, emotional, or
physical.
He is our Advocate, Exemplar, Good Shepherd, and Redeemer. Where else
would we look, where else would we reach, where else would we come but to
Jesus Christ, 'the author and finisher of our faith?' (Hebrews
12:2).
"He pronounced: 'Yea, verily . . . , if ye will come
unto me ye shall have eternal life. Behold, mine arm of mercy is
extended towards you, and whosoever will come, him will I receive' (3 Nephi
9:14). His promise invites us not only to reach towards Him but also to
take the all-important next step: to come unto Him."

(Anne C. Pingree, "To Look, Reach, and Come unto Christ," Ensign, Nov.
2006, 113)
