I was in a conversation with a friend once where I was asked what I thought the purpose of life was. I gave my answer, but it caused me to reflect deeper on the things I know to be true. I know the secret to true happiness. I know the secret to success in anything. I know the reason the stars move at night and why our hearts beat. I know the Grand Architect and He knows me. People ask me how I do the things I do and accomplish somewhat impossible things. It is because I know I am a limitless, eternal son of the Most High - and you are too. Some people wonder why I choose to be religious or Christian when in today's ever-growing secular society it can be quite unpopular. All I can say is I have experienced things I cannot deny, seen things I cannot begin to describe and felt feelings I cannot question and know are not my own making. The gospel of Jesus Christ is VERY real and it has forever changed my life for the better! To know that I have a Savior and Brother who LIVES, and who has been there for me - always having my back since the very beginnings of time, who performed a perfect and infinite atonement out of pure love just for me and who truly descended below all things to rescue my rebellious soul, who has become my greatest teacher and best friend means everything to me. I know for myself these things are true. I know for myself that Jesus is the Christ. He is the divine Son of the Living God, Redeemer and Savior of the world, the Eternal Judge of the souls of men, the Great Shepherd and Anointed One at the right hand of the Father. He is my Lord and my King. He is my Master and my Friend. He took upon Himself the sins of the world and broke the bands of death. His divine mission allows each of us to become something greater than ourselves. It is a gift that is open to all mankind - both Christian and unbeliever alike. Because of Him we get restarts, re-try’s, and renewals. We get rebirth, redemption, and resurrection. The chance to change, to become better. We can overcome fear, pain, sickness, sadness, deformity, disability, anxiety, war, hatred, and death. Because of Him we will live again! There is no denying He is a gift to the world. "He is extolled by Christian, Mohommedan and Jew, by skeptic and infidel, by the world’s greatest poets, philosophers, statesmen, scientists, and historians. Even the profane sinner in the foul sacrilege of his oath acclaims the divine supremacy of Him whose name he desecrates.” (James E. Talmage) All of mankind has access to the infinite love, atonement, and grace of Christ no matter your situation. Whether conquering an addiction, finding strength during a loss of a child, overcoming depression, the daily grind we each have to go through - whatever the trial may be we are currently undertaking in our lives, Christ is there with His arms outstretched. We need only to reach back and grab hold.

@jesse_k_fox This is how my chapel was all growing up in Utah. Personally I loved how this helped me focus on the sacrament ordinance throughout the meeting.
