[Follow Me]


"Follow Me" by Liz Lemon Swindle.

I love the title of this artwork. It's not just the fact that Jesus can walk on water but that He can make us walk on water too.

Jesus Christ can help us do things that we couldn't do with our own limited strength and capabilities. He can help us to forgive when we feel we can't forgive. He can help us to love when we feel we can't love someone. He can help us heal when there seems to be no hope for healing. He can help us see light when all there seems to be is darkness around us.

Jesus Christ is all powerful. 

Miracles happen when we follow Him.

“Men and women who turn their lives over to God will discover that He can make a lot more out of their lives than they can. He can deepen their joys, expand their vision, quicken their minds, strengthen their muscles, lift their spirits, multiply their blessings, increase their opportunities, comfort their souls, and pour out peace.” 
President Ezra T. Benson

“The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ would take the slums out of people, and then they would take themselves out of the slums.
The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature."
President Ezra T. Benson

[you go ahead and think you came from monkeys, I don't buy it! :)]



I've always thought it's weird that people think evolution has been scientifically proved. It hasn't been! It's just someone's theory. One day people are going to laugh and say they can't believe this was taught as science in schools. :)

The science vs. faith discussion is silly in my opinion. They don't need to be opposed. Science is just people trying to figure out how God does everything. God knows all the science, all the natural laws. He knows everything. He uses that knowledge and creates worlds. What we, people, know about our universe (and the millions and billions of other universes out there) is minuscule compared to what God knows. He has created "worlds without number" and He knows exactly how He did it. We probably don't even know one billionth of what He knows. We haven't even completely explored the oceans on this earth yet! 

There are many scientists who have started to believe in God once they have studied nature. They are convinced that something so harmonious, beautiful and perfectly balanced couldn't be in existence without a Supreme Creator. To me, nature and everything out there testifies of this same fact. The more I learn about nature, the more respect I have for it's Creator. God is the best Artist! A Master Planner and Organizer. The Best Scientist. And still - He is our Father too, and chooses to be called by that name.

ps. In case you're wondering - there are people like us in those other universes! But that's a whole other long discussion. :)
