- We are a temple-building ad a temple-attending people.
Jeffrey R. Holland -The Cost--and Blessings--of Discipleship
- Thank you for your steadfast service and for your unfailing devotion to duty.
- If you haven't already, you will one day find yourself called upon to defend your faith.
- Such moments will require both courage and courtesy on your part.
- Surely the angels of heaven wept as they recorded this cost of discipleship in a world that is often hostile to the commandments of God.
- You may wonder if it is worth it to take a courageous moral stand ... only to have your most cherished beliefs reviled or to strive against much in society that sometimes ridicules a life of religious devotion. Yes, it is worth it.
- Unfortunately, messengers of divinely mandated commandments are often no more popular today than they were anciently.
- Sadly, ... it is a characteristic of our age that if people want any gods at all, they want them to be gods who do not demand much, comfortable gods, smooth gods who not only don't rock the boat but don't even row it, gods who pat us on the head, make us giggle, then tell us to run along and pick marigolds.
- Pure Christlike love flowing from true righteousness can change the world.
Ronald A. Rasband -The Joyful Burden of Discipleship
- We are surrounded by those in need of our attention, our encouragement, our support, our comfort, our kindness. We are the Lord's hands here upon the earth.
- It is so important for each of us to strive to lay up our spiritual treasures in heaven--using our time, talents, and agency in service to God.
Carlos H. Amado -Christ the Redeemer
- We are indebted to Him (Jesus Christ) and to our Heavenly Father because His sacrifice blessed everyone, from Adam, the first, to the last of all human beings.
Linda S. Reeves -Protection from Pornography--a Christ-Focused Home
- How grateful we are when loved ones choose to confide in us. We would be wise not to react with shock, anger, or rejection, which may cause them to be silent again.
- Do you realize how deeply the Lord loves and cherishes you, even now?
- Know that you are not alone. There is help.
- Take responsibility for your own spiritual well-being.
Neil L. Andersen -Spiritual Whirlwinds
- The world will not glide calmly toward the Second Coming of the Savior.
- More concerning than the prophesied earthquakes and wars are the spiritual whirlwinds that can uproot you from your spiritual foundations and land your spirit in places you never imagined possible, sometimes with your barely noticing that you have been moved.
- The worst whirlwinds are the temptations of the adversary.
- Not all the whirlwinds in life are of your own making. Some come because of the wrong choices of others, and some come just because this is mortality.
- Challenges will come to you, but as you trust in God, they will strengthen your faith.
- God made your spirit strong and capable of being resilient to the whirlwinds of life.
- Everyone, independent of his or her decisions and beliefs, deserves our kindness and consideration.
- Don't let the whirlwinds drag you down.
- I will not leave you comfortless I will come to you.
Henry B. Eyring -A Priceless Heritage of Hope
- It takes faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior to keep sacred covenants for a lifetime.
- Every person born into the world receives the Light of Christ, which helps us see and feel what is right and what is wrong.
- If we choose the right, we will find happiness--in time. If we choose evil, there comes sorrow and regret--in time. Those effects are sure. Yet they are often delayed for a purpose.
Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
