Find Rest in Christ: Ange Nelson

 

How do you find Rest in Christ?

Ange Nelson, Greenbriar Ward

There’s a scripture that I could easily say has been the theme of my life: …He did speak peace to our souls (Alma 58:10). He speaks peace to MY soul.

There’s so much commotion in the world, and sometimes there’s commotion inside of me. Feeling inadequate, disappointed, stretched, frustrated, unsure, and overwhelmed. And somehow, in quiet but powerful ways, He restores peace to my heart. And to my head.

What helps me MOST, is to just BE where HE is. In the scriptures. In the temple. Renewing covenants with Him every Sunday.
The more time and effort I put into being where He is (and trying to be AS He is), the more I come to know Him. The more I come to trust Him. And the more I come to know who I am.

There’s a difference between His peace, and the temporary feelings I get from temporary sources. Because of Him I feel joy and peace in a world that doesn’t offer that. He really IS the answer to everything I’ve encountered in my life. And He will continue to be the answer. Living life with Jesus is the best kind of life. And I love Him.
