The Best News I Have Ever Received

Have you ever felt really excited about something new....like a self-help book, or a business opportunity, or a new exercise regimen, and felt like, "Man, this is going to change my life in a big way, this feels too good to be true."?  I have had a lot of experiences like that, and half the time the thing I'm learning about doesn't turn out to be quite what I expected it to be. Half the time it is not quite so life-changing as they had promised it would be.

If you take the time to learn about Jesus Christ, it may feel like it's too good to be true. You may feel like you could see that kind of power and forgiveness and mercy being applied to anyone else's life, except your own.  No way was one person ever that good, no way can one person save you from all that is bad and hard about your life. No way.

I testify that the best news I have ever received in my life is that the story of Jesus Christ as Savior of the world IS true.  He can make your peace flow like a river, He can help you change, He can improve your health and your relationships and your finances and He will always love you, no matter how far you think you've strayed.  He's not too good to be true. He is truth.  I love my Savior and I'm so grateful for this season of peace when all of the world seems to take a moment and remember Him.  Merry Christmas everyone!
