HOLD ON

I really enjoyed this talk by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland.

One of my favorite things he said was,
"Trust in God. Hold on in His love."

I like that he said, hold on IN his love, instead of TO his love. That one word makes such a difference. Because when you are struggling with trials as big as mental illness, it's hard to imagine holding onto anything, yet alone something intangible. Truly, God's love never leaves. We don't need to be frantically holding onto what is left of his love. He has surrounded us in it, it will just always be there. All we have to do is endure enveloped and enfolded IN his love.

"Child, hold on.
It's this day, not you,
That's bound to go away!"
