Come Unto Me - General Conference through the years

April 2012- Elder Neil L. Andersen- What Thinks Christ of Me
We may not be at our very best every day, but if we are trying, Jesus’s bidding is full of encouragement and hope: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Matthew 11:28-30
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

I have blogged about my experience with this scripture before.  This occurred in October 2006,  and I have started compiling a list of the general conference talks that have referred to this scripture (Matthew 11:28-30) and I will be watching for this message to continue in the upcoming conference next week.  I think with all this repetition, Jesus really wants us to know He loves us and will help us.

Getting personal answers in General Conference

If we teach by the Spirit and you listen by the Spirit, some one of us will touch on your circumstance, sending a personal prophetic epistle just to you.

                              Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, “An Ensign to the Nations” May 2011 Ensign

 “I invite you to listen, listen if you will by the power of the Spirit, to the speakers who will address you today and tomorrow as well as this evening. If you will do so, I do not hesitate to promise that you will be uplifted, your resolution to do what is right will be stronger, you will find solutions to your problems and your needs, and you will be led to thank the Lord for what you have heard”

(“Listen by the Power of the Spirit,” Ensign, Nov. 1996, 4).
