He Will Not Fail Us

“His purposes fail not, neither are there any who can stay from his hand.” (D&C 76:3)  From this beautiful verse I gleaned so much about my relationship with my Savior.  First, he can be trusted, and so can his ways. His purposes are not going to fail. In a world where so many things are falling apart, his ways will not.  When so many people fail to keep their promises… he will continue to keep his. Second, none can stay from his hand. Without an understanding of our savior’s infinite love for each of us, this part of the verse could be seen as something to fear. But that is not the case. It is because I know my savior is loving and kind that this part is beautiful. Because I have an understanding of his love (albeit imperfect) I find an incredible amount of peace and comfort in this promise. There is no one who is exempt from his love, his power, the service he is willing to give: his atonement.
