Be not afraid, only believe

Auf Mission haben wir immer die Church News bekommen. Ganz am Ende meiner Mission habe ich einen Artikel in einer älteren Zeitung gefunden. Es ist aus einer Ansprache von Präsident Hinckley am 9. September 2001. Seit Mission habe ich diesen Artikel als Lesezeichen. Selbst jetzt, wo ich eine neue Kombi angefangen habe, konnte ich mich nicht davon trennen. Der Artikel ist einfach so toll.

Be not afraid, only believe.
Believe in God our Eternal Father, He who is greatest of all, who stands ever ready to help us and who has the power to do so. Believe in Jesus Christ, the Savior and the REdeemer of mankind, the worker of miracles, the greatesr who ever walked the earth, the intercessor with our father. Believe in the power of the Holy Ghost to lead, to inspire, to comfort, to protect. Believe in the Prophet Joseph, as an instrument in the hands of the Almighty in ushering in this the dispensation of the fullness of times.
Believe in the sacred word of God, the Holy Bible, with its treasury of inspiration and sacred truth; in the Book of Mormon as a testimony of the living Christ. Believe in the Church as the organization which the God of Heaven established for the blessing of His sons and daughters of all generations of time.
Believe in yourselves as sons and daughters of God, men and women with unlimited potential to do good in the world. Believe in personal virtue. There is no substitute for it anywhere under the heavens. Believe in your power to discipline yourselves against the evils which could destroy you. Believe in one another as the greatest generation ever yet to live upon the earth.
