- The building of hope and faith and even greater love between receiver and giver are inevitable results of true charity.
- The greatest form of charity may be to withhold judgment.
- When we see our own imperfections more clearly, we are less inclined to view others "through a glass, darkly."
- We can't direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails. For maximum happiness, peace, and contentment, may we choose a positive attitude.
- Words have surprising power, both to build up and to tear down.
- Choosing to say only that which is positive about--and to--others lifts and strengthens those around us.
- Charity, in positive terms, is patient, kind, and content. Charity puts others first, is humble, exercises self-control, looks for good in others, and rejoices when someone does well.
Carole M. Stephens -The Master Healer
- Regardless of perceived differences, all of us are in need of the same infinite Atonement.
- The Savior meets us where we are. And because of who He is and what He has done for us, He understands.
- Hope and healing are not found in the dark abyss of secrecy but in the light and love of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Bonnie L. Oscarson -Rise Up in Strength, Sisters in Zion
- We have an innate strength and faith that will allow us to meet the challenges of living in the last days.
- The moment we learn to unleash the full influence of converted, covenant-keeping women, the kingdom of God will change overnight.
- I worry that we live in such an atmosphere of avoiding offense that we sometimes altogether avoid teaching correct principles.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf -Fourth Floor, Last Door
- Faith is a strong conviction about something we believe--a conviction so strong that it moves us to do things that we otherwise might not do.
- Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
- There are more ways to see than with our eyes, more ways to feel than with our hands, more ways to hear than with our ears.
- Just because we can't hear something doesn't mean there is nothing to hear.
- Perhaps better advice--or anyone who wants to increase faith--is to listen differently.
- One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes.
- Faith is powerful, and often it does result in miracles. But no matter how much faith we have, there are two things faith cannot do. For one, it cannot violate another person's agency.
- As painful as it might be for our Father in Heaven, He will not force anyone to choose the path of righteousness.
- God will invite, persuade. God will reach out tirelessly with love and inspiration and encouragement. But God will never compel--that would undermine His great plan for our eternal growth.
- The purpose of faith is not to change God's will but to empower us to act on God's will. Faith is trust--trust that God sees what we cannot and that He knows what we do not.
- Walk by whatever faith you have.
- Faith comes to the humble, the diligent, the enduring.
- God "rewards those who earnestly seek him," but that reward is not usually behind the first door. So we need to keep knocking. Don't give up.
Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
