Welcome to One Minute Scripter Study, a Come Follow Me podcast.

We are your host, Kristen Walker Smith and Kelly Black.

Hey friend, it's Kristen. Grab your scriptures and let's dive into Deuteronomy 30 verse 4.

Now, I have known friends who felt they had gone too far for Jesus to care about them anymore.

Their sins were too awful and they'd rejected God too

many times. They felt they had used up all their chances. But that's not how our father and Savior work.

The prophet Moses wrote, If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven,

from thence will the Lord thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee.

When my kids were young, I tried my hardest to be patient, but at the end of a park day,

I would get so annoyed when the kids would run away for me and I had to go to the park's edges

to find them. I would moan over what a waste of time it was or how frustrating my child was.

But Jesus doesn't say that. He says that he'll gather thee and fetch thee. You can be on heaven's furthest outskirts

and Jesus will find you. No complaints, no frustration. It doesn't matter how far you think you

are from Jesus' love and his light. He is ready and willing to meet you exactly where you are.

So the takeaway of the day in five words or less is, Jesus will come for you.

Thanks so much for being here today and for coming closer to Christ with me one minute at a time.

Hey, parents, have you broached the topic of Joseph Smith's plural marriages yet with your kids or race in the priesthood?
