There Is No Such Thing As The End


Yesterday, the church released this video, and I LOVE it! To get ready for Easter, I'm going to try to spend some time every day thinking--as this video suggests--about all the wonderful things I have in my life because of Him.

One of my favorite parts of the video is when it says: "Because of Him, there is no such thing as the end." Just a week ago in General Conference, President Uchtdorf addressed this topic. He said:

"In light of what we know about our eternal destiny, is it any wonder that whenever we face the bitter endings of life, they seem unacceptable to us? There seems to be something inside of us that resists endings. Why is this? Because we are made of the stuff of eternity. We are eternal beings, children of the Almighty God, whose name is Endless and who promises eternal blessings without number. Endings are not our destiny."

I testify that because of Jesus Christ, good things will never truly end; or if they do, it is only because something better awaits us. Because of Him, our families can be together forever. Because of Him, our dreams can someday be realized. Because of Him, the future is always brighter than the circumstances we find ourselves in at the moment, no matter how bleak or happy those circumstances are. Why? Because He is waiting there for us--waiting to take us into His arms with forgiveness and tenderness and love. He broke the chains of death and sorrow and despair, and with Him "there is no such things as everlasting endings, only everlasting beginnings."
