"...Christ hath said; If y will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me." (Moroni 7:33)

- Gaining faith in our Savior Jesus Christ is one of the most important and sometimes hardest but most rewarding things we can do on this earth. By having faith we can have a sure hope and a stronger relationship with our Elder Brother and Savior Jesus Christ.

-People often think that miracles don't happen anymore and that it was only in the days of Christ or the days of the Bible that God would show Himself to us. Moroni 7:37 tells us what really happened, "it is by faith that miracles are wrought;" 
We must have faith in the God of miracles and there are a lot of people who don't and who don't even believe He exists. How can we change this? How can we strengthen the faith of God's Children?

 Spencer W. Kimball said,

"If the Bible were 'the end of the prophets,' it would be through lack of faith, and that is the reason the heavens at times were closed and locked and became as iron and the earth as brass.

"The Lord will not force himself upon people; and if they do not believe, they will receive no visitation. If they are content to depend upon their own limited calculations and interpretations then, of course, the Lord will leave them to their chosen fate." (Conference Report, Oct. 1966, p. 22)

Hope and Faith go together. If we don't have hope then we can't have faith either. We must work our whole lives on strengthening both together in Christ.

Blessing- Running water. :)

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
