Many, O LORD my God, [are] thy wonderful works [which] thou hast done, and thy thoughts [which are] to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: [if] I would declare and speak [of them], they are more than can be numbered. PSALM 40:5

Friends, this week we are encouraging you to think about YOU in God. Not just in a momentary and routine way, (preparing to pray for instance), but in a daily quiet and separate fashion. You may think you have reached a peak or even a dry spell. Perhaps you think God is just pulled away from you and is watching, waiting to see what you will do. Nothing could be further from the truth.

God has wonderful works in store, tied in to his thoughts for us and they are innumerable! He has not yet begun to bless you! He has never stopped thinking of you in his waking moments and God never sleeps! Put that in your mind. Spend time today realizing that in all of creation, spoken in a moment, God has taken time to form YOU, to name YOU in your mother's womb and to watch you grow. Do you think for an instant that he has let you reach your peak yet? Do you think he has had his fill of you or that you are just a passing interest for him? NO!

This week we urge you to pause from asking God for THINGS and ask him to renew your vision of how he sees you. Bask in the presence of his peace and love. Know that you are not through yet, your journey has not reached its peak and that great things are in store for you this week! YOU ARE THE THOUGHT IN GOD'S MIND AND PURPOSE IN HIS PLANS!

In Love,

Elder Mark and Sister Dana
