Latter-day Visions of the Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

this is a letter to a woman who left the church 20 years ago, who is coming back to the fold... I wrote this letter to her to help her when she asked for help... I hope you enjoy...

I once had a girl friend who wanted to marry me. when I could not agree after much prayer she turned hostile on me and accused me of many things to our bishop. she was trying to get me Excommunicated. During the next few months I went thru bishops court and finally came thru with an intact Membership. However Everyone heard all about everything she said I did to her. They all took her side. it was very difficult for me to be judged for something I didn't do. In Time people began to see her lies for what they really were. As hard as that time was for me, It was a very powerful learning experience. I was given a love for my father in heaven and my enemies. I also learned to fully put my trust in my Father in heaven. When we trust in him, he will make things right eventually. He will help you get thru this time. Also, sometimes the Lord allows our paths to go into the shadows so that we can learn learn things he needs us to know. Things we need to learn to become tools in his hands. I was once told in a blessing of sorts, I "Jesus" have had my hands in your life since you were a child. I have done this for My wise Purpose. that you may learn compassion, that you may become my humble servant... I lived a very dark past complete with Years of abuse as a child... abandonment, Later drug use and suicide attempts... When I was converted I was 19 years old. People only saw a homeless person whose body and skin had been ravaged by drug use... but my heavenly father knew who I was and who I would become... He also knows you... who you really are and who you Will become in this life and beyond... Trust in him and do not allow Satan to use others to bring you down... They do not know the real you. You may not even realize who you are... But Our Father in heaven knows Exactly who you are. You are his child, his princess... who, if you choose, will become far better then you can ever imagine... If you could see Your self in the future, who you really are you would bow down and worship yourself... He Knows you, How You are and Who you will be, the past, present and future... All Things work together for His Eternal Glory... and his Glory is to bring to pass, the Eternal Life of his children...
