Personal Experience with Christ Changes Everything | Elder Holland

Details

Description

--"My desire today is for all of us—not just those who are “poor in spirit” but all of us—to have more straightforward personal experience with the Savior’s example. Sometimes we seek heaven too obliquely, focusing on programs or history or the experience of others. Those are important but not as important as personal experience, true discipleship, and the strength that comes from experiencing firsthand the majesty of His touch."
— Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, “Broken Things to Mend,” April 2006

🔹 KEY PRINCIPLES
--Come Unto Christ Daily – The first step out of despair is to turn toward the Savior in faith, even if that faith begins as a small desire.
--Repent and Forgive Freely – Change what we can through repentance and release what we can’t by forgiving others, opening access to the Atonement.
--Walk in His Way – Take upon us His name through covenants and daily discipleship, following His example with love that endures all things.

🔹 KEY QUESTIONS
--What does it mean to “come unto Christ” when life feels beyond repair?
--How does forgiving others free us to feel the Savior’s healing power?
--Why is taking upon us the name of Christ more than just a formal covenant?

🔹 PROBLEMS SOLVED BY THE MESSAGE
--Overcoming feelings of being broken beyond repair.
--Finding hope in the face of addiction, discouragement, depression, or loss.
--Letting go of guilt, resentment, or despair that blocks access to the Savior’s help.
--Replacing fear with faith when facing uncertainty.

When life feels shattered—through trials, mistakes, or loss—the Savior offers rest, healing, and hope. His invitation to come unto Him is for every soul, in every circumstance. Even a desire to believe can be the first step toward His light.
