 Shalom, my name is Mitch, and as a Jewish convert of the Mormon Church, I would enjoy sharing my favorite scripture. It's a scripture that as I was in the hospital, having cancer and needing medical attention, I felt my life close at hand. I thought in despair, my darkest moment, I felt the need to seek my Heavenly Father in prayer. I thought it was my time to leave this earth, and in my darkest hour, in the hospital, there in tears to my Lord, I prayed. On the nightstand was my scriptures. I felt inclined to reach for them. As I did, I opened the scriptures to my favorite scripture, which gave me hope, strength, and courage. As I cried to my Father in my time of need, and I'd love to share the scripture with you. 2 Nephi 31-20 Wherefore, you must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God, and of all men. Wherefore, if you shall press forward, feasting upon the Word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus sayeth the Father, you shall have eternal life. And at that moment, I knew I needed to press forward. I knew my Heavenly Father loved me, and that my Savior was there to embrace me. I know that my Messiah lives, and I share this with you, with love in my heart. In the name of my Messiah, use Jesus Christ. Amen.
