One day the faithful will have it all!
The gross size of our talent inventories is less important than the net use of our talents?
The scriptures offer us so many doctrinal diamonds. And when the light of the Spirit plays upon their several facets, they sparkle with celestial sense and illuminate the path we are to follow.
In the economy of Heaven, God does not send thunder if a still, small voice is enough, or a prophet if a priest can do the job.
Love, patience, and meekness can be just as contagious as rudeness and crudeness.
So often our sisters comfort others when their own needs are greater than those being comforted. That quality is like the generosity of Jesus on the cross. Empathy during agony is a portion of divinity!
In one degree or another we all struggle with selfishness. Since it is so common, why worry about selfishness anyway? Because selfishness is really self-destruction in slow motion.
Selfishness is much more than an ordinary problem because it activates all the cardinal sins! It is the detonator in the breaking of the Ten Commandments.
We can be walking witnesses and standing sermons to which objective onlookers can say a quiet amen.
We, more than others, should carry jumper and tow cables not only in our cars, but also in our hearts, by which means we can send the needed boost or charge of encouragement or the added momentum to mortal neighbors.
If we are serious about our discipleship, Jesus will eventually request each of us to do those very things which are most difficult for us to do.
The submission of one’s will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God’s altar. The many other things we ‘give’ are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.
True discipleship is for volunteers only. Only volunteers will trust the Guide sufficiently to follow Him in the dangerous ascent which only He can lead.
We are so busy constantly checking our own temperatures, we fail to notice the burning fevers of others.
Empathy during agony is a portion of divinity.
The acceptance of the reality that we are in the Lord’s loving hands is only a recognition that we have never really been anywhere else.
Truly we work and live on a streetful of splendid people, whom we are to love and serve even if they are uninterested in us!
We are often not only to slow to get on our knees, but to quick to rise from them.
Any assessment of where we stand in relationship to Him tells us that we do not stand at all. We kneel.
The Book of Mormon is to be feasted upon, not nibbled.
