Day 99--We Can't Live on Borrowed Light

Day 99:
-Read: Moroni 10
-Mark: Moroni 10:3-5, 32

"To meet the difficulties that are coming, it will be necessary for you to have a knowledge of the truth of this work for yourselves. The difficulties will be of such a character that the man or woman who does not possess this personal knowledge or witness will fall. If you have not got the testimony, live right and call upon the Lord and cease not till you obtain it....The time will come when no man nor woman will be able to endure on borrowed light. Each will have to be guided by the light within himself. If you do not have it, how can you stand?"
~Elder Heber C. Kimball

Wow. What a powerful thought this is! We can't live off of borrowed light. We just can't. We need a testimony for ourselves, especially through these upcoming hard times. No one can change our attitude for us. We need God in our life to help us to make those changes and to gain our own testimony. Having a testimony is a wonderful thing that can help protect us when needed. It's like our foundation.....based on your testimony, and what you really believe, your actions will be determined by all of that. The more of your own testimony you have, the easier it will be to say no to things that are wrong. God will be on your side. You can win the fight against Satan.

Now what are you going to do now that you're done? Keep reading and building that testimony for yourself! Ask God if it be true!

One more post tomorrow and then we're done! Can you believe it!?
