- The atoning power of Jesus Christ is essential because none of us can return to our heavenly home without help.
- The opportunity to benefit from the Savior's atoning power is creation's most important payload.
- God intends priesthood to be used for more than just a class on Sunday or as a service opportunity.
- A man's priesthood commission is individually given and does not exist independent of him; priesthood is not an amorphous source of autonomous power.
- Through the priesthood, the power of godliness is manifest in the lives of all who make and keep gospel covenants and receive the associated ordinances.
- Covenants with God are serious and solemn. A man should prepare for, learn about, and enter such covenants with the intent to honor them.
- A covenant becomes a pledge of self.
David F. Evans -The Truth of All Things
- While you are searching and reading and praying for the answer, why don't you do the things you know you should and not do the things you know you should not?
- For some questions, continuing faith, patience, and revelation are needed.
- Willingness to be patient is part of our search for truth and part of the Lord's pattern of revealing truth.
- It is essential for you to have your own testimony in these difficult times, for the testimonies of others will carry you only so far.
- A testimony needs to be kept vital and alive through continued obedience to the commandments of God and through daily prayer and scripture study.
- Choose to "act" rather than be "acted upon" by the doubts of others.
- Patient covenant keeping increases our humility, deepens our desire to know truth, and allows the Holy Ghost to "guide [us] in wisdom's paths that [we] may be blessed, prospered, and preserved.
- Patient covenant keeping brings the blessings of heaven into our lives.
- Without knowing everything, we can know the truth.
Richard J. Maynes -Earning the Trust of the Lord and Your Family
- Earning the Lord's trust is a blessing that comes through great effort on our part.
- Men who have "integrity of heart" are men to be trusted--because trust is built on integrity.
- With each decision we make, we either merit more of God's trust or diminish His trust.
- Trust brings peace, love, and an environment where the love can grow.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf -Bearers of Heavenly Light
- Sometimes it helps to talk to someone who cares about our troubles.
- Like layers of sedimentary rock, spiritual pain and grief can build over time, weighing upon our spirits until it is almost too heavy to bear.
- Just because spiritual trials are real does not mean that they are incurable.
- The healing power of Jesus Christ is not absent in our day.
- Whatever causes our spiritual ailments, they all have one thing in common: the absence of divine light.
- When we are in darkness, we are more likely to lose hope because we cannot see the peace and joy that await us if we just keep pressing forward.
- Light, on the other hand, allows us to see things as they really are. It allows us to discern between truth and error, between the vital and trivial.
- "God is no respecter of persons." His light is available to all--great or small, rich or poor, privileged or disadvantaged.
- For change to take place, we need to actively let the light in.
- Darkness is not an indication that there is no light. Most often, it simply means we're not in the right place to receive the light.
Henry B. Eyring -The Lord Leads His Church
- It takes faith to believe that the Lord calls imperfect people into positions of trust.
Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
