Come Lord Jesus

Two verses that I have always really loved are Revelation 22: 17 & 20.
17 And the Spriti and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely..
20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

One of  the reasons that I love these verses because I think they give the best summary of the bible, and so it is fitting that they are at the end. It is about coming to Jesus, and then preparing for Jesus to come, to return to the earth again. I have met people who say something to the effect of, "I'm not in any hurry for Jesus to come back, I 'm not ready." While I can't say that I am as righteous as I would like to be before he comes, I can't wait for him to come back! And that is the attitude that I think he wants us to have. That is something that stood out to me from President Nelson's conference talk as well. The Savior's return is a wonderful and exciting thing. Something that we need to prepare for, yes, but something we need not fear. I gives me motivation to do a little better, to stand a little taller and to commune with Heaven a little more. Like John I want to say "Come quickly... Come Lord Jesus!"

Revelation

This past conference was truly amazing! It was the motivation I needed to recommit to Heavenly Father. While I loved so many of the talks, my favorite one was definitely President Nelson's talk, "Revelation for the Church, Revelation for Our Lives." While I loved the whole talk, these two specific quotes stood out to me:

"One of the things the Spirit has repeatedly impressed upon my mind since my new calling as President of the Church is how willing the Lord is to reveal His mind and will. The privilege of receiving revelation is one of the greatest gifts of God to His children...

I urge you to stretch beyond your current spiritual ability to receive personal revelation, for the Lord has promised that 'if thou shalt [seek], thou shalt receive revelation upon revelation, knowledge upon knowledge, that thou mayest know the mysteries and peaceable things—that which bringeth joy, that which bringeth life eternal'... Oh, there is so much more that your Father in Heaven wants you to know."

These both mean so much to me, especially since I am graduating in a few weeks and trying to figure out what to do with my life. It is comforting that a prophet of God has told us that no matter what we may be going through in our lives, whether it is graduation, getting married, starting a new job, having a baby, family problems, or anything else life may bring, Heavenly Father will help and guide us. Sometimes I think because we know Heavenly Father wants us to learn that we don't rely on him enough. This was confirmed to me when President Nelson said "...there is so much more that your Father in Heaven wants you to know." I know that he does, and that I can work more to me open and receptive to what he wants me to know.
