Quote/Principle

I enjoy this reminder that the Savior has power over death to bring life.  This applies not only to physical life, but to all aspects of our lives.  The Savior has the power to make it live and thrive.

"As [Jairus] besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death." … Then comes a great acknowledgement of faith: "I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live." These are not only the words of faith of a father torn with grief but are also a reminder to us that whatever Jesus lays his hands upon lives. It Jesus lays his hands upon a marriage, it lives. If he is allowed to lay his hands on the family, it lives.
