Confidence...

President Nelson attended the last session of conference. His talk was recorded and he mentioned that his eyesight is fading. He's in his 101st year so I was just happy to see him. At the conclusion of the conference a brother brought President Nelson's wheelchair near him. He asked him to wait. He then looked around the Conference Center and smiled at those in attendance. He also stood and shook hands with all the Twelve and then motioned for the choir directors, and shook their hands also. 

I'm so grateful for his inspired words. 

"When I speak of having confidence before God, I am referring to having confidence in approaching God right now! I am referring to praying with confidence that Heavenly Father hears us. That He understands our needs better than we do. I am referring to having confidence that He loves us more than we can comprehend. That He sends angels to be with us and with those we love. I am referring to having confidence that He yearns to help each of us reach our highest potential."

"As we diligently seek to have charity and virtue fill our lives, our confidence in approaching God will increase. I invite you to take intentional steps, to grow in your confidence before the Lord. Then, as we go to our Heavenly Father, with increasing confidence, we will be filled with more joy, and our faith in Jesus Christ will increase. We will begin to experience spiritual power that exceeds our greatest hopes."

"The Lord said charity and virtue open the way to having confidence before God (Doctrine and Covenants 121:45)."
