The Savior’s Touch
BY ELDER WALTER F. GONZÁLEZ
Of the Seventy
The leper did not make his request
in a pretentious or demanding manner.
His words reveal a humble attitude,
with high expectations but also with a
sincere desire that the will of the Savior
be done. This is an example of the attitude with which we should come unto
Christ. We can come unto Christ with
the certainty that His desire currently
is and always will be the best for our
mortal and eternal lives. He has an eternal perspective that we do not have. We
must come unto Christ with a sincere
desire that our will be swallowed up in
the will of the Father, as His was. This
will prepare us for eternal life....
As we come unto Him,
God will come to our rescue, whether
to heal us or to give us the strength to
face any situation.
At any rate, accepting His will—not
our own—will help us understand our
circumstances. Nothing bad can come
from God. He knows what is best for
us. Perhaps He will not remove our
burdens right away. Sometimes He
can make those burdens feel lighter,
as He did with Alma and his people. Ultimately, because of covenants, the
burdens will be lifted, either in this life
or at the holy Resurrection.
