I Need A Hero.



What do y'all look for in a Hero?

...
..
...

Most Heroes are linked with certain powers:

- Invisibility - Super Strength - Lightning Speed - Flight - Invincibility -  

And most Heroes are linked with certain attributes:

- Fast - Patient - Handsome - Brave - Loyal - Trustworthy - Smart - Courageous 



So what if I told you..

That there were a couple books..

About some super awesome Heroes..

Given to us from God??


Well you BEST believe it!
Because its the TRUTH!






That is right!
The Book of Mormon
and The Bible contain some pretty amazing Heroes!

Probably the best Heroes ever!

They may not have shnazzy uniforms...
----------------->>>>>

They don't need them!

Give them a robe and a staff,
And they are happy with that!



They are:

-Humble - Meek - Submissive - Patient -Long Suffering - Gentle - Temperate - Diligent - Thankful - Kind - Faithful - Charitable  - Hopeful 


Most importantly..

Christ-Like! 



Did they get that way over night?

No way!
It takes time.
It take practice.
It takes work!    ---------------->>>


Do you instantly get HUGE the first time you go to the gym?

- I wish!!!

But..
It's not that simple.

Good thing we have been given a brand new year to work on these things!!


I have a challenge for y'all!

Will you sit down,
Take your scriptures,
Pick a Hero!
Read about him or her,
Write down their qualities you admire.
And strive to become more like them this year?

As we do this,
We will become more like our Savior.
And we can share His love with others!

Try it!
Don't Give Up!

  1. Joseph son of Israel (Jacob).
    Trusted completely in God. Was rewarded due to his faith by God using him to save Israel and the nation of Egypt from starvation. He was given the gift of interpreting dreams, learned humility and wisdom. Showed love and forgiveness. Sometimes suffering is part of God's plan to bring about a greater good.
