As the year 2023 comes to an end I am reminded again and again that the only way to genuinely help the world and all its people is to live the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know this name will immediately turn some people away from my message; for this I am sorry. Truly the gospel is this:

Love God. Love your neighbor. Love yourself. Keep faith that Jesus Christ loves you and will always forgive you when you repent. He wants you to try to do better. He knows you will fail; like a loving parent he helps us up and encourages us to keep moving one foot in front of the other. We can do this! We can return to Him, learning love on the way. Toddlers cry, rest, try again; you can, too.
