Talk/Friend/Follow Him in Faith

As some of you know I go to the noon devotionals on Fridays for the LDS Institute program at my school. There is so much to be learned each week. It's so nice getting the chance to listen to a speaker each week talk about something that it seems like I need in my life at the time. It amazes me on how much I learn each week that I haven't known already.

This past Friday I got the privilege to listen to Alex Boyé. It was beyond amazing. A true inspiration. He talked about letting things go and not holding on to them. You don't need to hold onto every little thing in life. Move on, forward, with life. You will find that if you just let things go you will be more happy with your life.

Favorite part of his talk; "I know God don't have a smart phone but I can still talk to him. I know he doesn't have a Facebook but I can still friend him. I know God don't have a twitter but I will still follow him through life."

This line couldn't be anymore true. He is ALWAYS there and is always there to be your friend.

We shouldn't ignore him or kick him out of our life because we can't "friend" him on Facebook or follow him on twitter. It doesn't matter that he doesn't have a phone that we can just call whenever we want from our phone.

We can ALWAYS give him a "call" through a prayer. He is always listening. The Lord cares about each and everyone of us. He wants us to live with him again someday.

We shouldn't have to talk to him through Facebook and like his every post. He is already a friend to each and everyone of us. If we want to read "status" from him we can pick up our scriptures and read them. It's something that we have that is better then what Facebook will ever be. We can always read it and it doesn't make changes like Facebook does. It's context is something that each and everyone of us will love.

We shouldn't have to "follow" him on twitter. We should follow him in faith. Trust him. There is so much that we can learn from him. He is there for us and loves each one of us. Unlike twitter he won't block us from following him. He loves us to much to do so and wants each and everyone of us to return to him.

I know he is there for us and always will be. He wants to help each and everyone of us out. He wants us to return to him. We shouldn't turn him away.
