Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail—

Moroni 7: 46

March Message from Relief Society

Mind the Gap

Barbara Thompson

Many of us have gaps in our own lives. Sometimes it is the difference between what we know and what we actually do or the gap between our goals and what we actually accomplish. These gaps can be reminders of ways in which we can improve or, if ignored, can be stumbling blocks in our lives.

  • First, the gap between believing you are a daughter of God and knowing in your heart and soul that you are a precious, beloved daughter of God.
  • Second, the gap between completion of the Young Women program and becoming a fully participating member of Relief Society—“the Lord’s organization for women.
  • Third, the gap between believing in Jesus Christ and being valiant in the testimony of Jesus Christ.

As we mind these gaps by paying careful attention and removing ourselves from danger, we will begin to realize the fullness of the blessings of the gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives.

Remember, it’s not just what you get out of active participation in Relief Society but what you can give and contribute as well.
