- Far from being anxious to condemn, our Heavenly Father and our Savior seek our happiness.
- To warn is to care.
- In a guilt culture you know you are good or bad by what your conscience feels. In a shame culture you know you are good or bad by what your community says about you, by whether it honors or excludes you.
- Everybody is perpetually insecure in a moral system based on inclusion and exclusion. There are no permanent standards, just the shifting judgment of the crowd. It is a culture of oversensitivity, overreaction and frequent moral panics, during which everybody feels compelled to go along.
- How much better it is to have the unchanging law of God by which we may act to choose our destiny rather than being hostage to the unpredictable rules and wrath of the social media mob.
- Do not abandon those who would welcome truth to floundering and failing in ignorance.
- Ultimately, we are all accountable to God for our choices and the lives we live.
Joaquin E. Costa -To the Friends and Investigators of the Church
- If you are confused, don't worry--remember the feelings you have experienced; they come from God.
- Experience repentance; nothing draws you closer to the Lord Jesus Christ than a desire to change.
S. Mark Palmer -Then Jesus Beholding Him Loved Him
- I do love you, and because I love you, I care about who you become. So I invite you to change those things that are hard for you and become who the Lord wants you to be.
- As we learn to see others as the Lord sees them rather than with our own eyes, our love for them will grow and so will our desire to help them.
- No true teaching or learning will ever occur when done in frustration or anger, and hearts will not change where love is not present.
Gary E. Stevenson -How Does the Holy Ghost Help You?
- As you heed promptings from the Holy Ghost--impressions most often quiet and still--you may be removed, without ever knowing, from spiritual and temporal danger.
C. Scott Grow -And This Is Life Eternal
- No matter how alone or uncertain you may feel at times, you are not alone in this world. God knows you personally.
- As you study the scriptures each day, alone, and with your family, you will learn to recognize the voice of the Spirit and will come to know God.
- As we seek to do God's will by faithfully serving Him and our fellowmen, we feel His approval and truly come to know Him.
- He can make of us more than we could ever make of ourselves.
- Courage; and on, on to the victory!
- God knows you and invites you to know Him.
Benjamin De Hoyos -That Our Light May Be a Standard for the Nations
- Our light also grows as we dedicate and consecrate time to finding the names of our ancestors, taking their names to the temple, and teaching our family and others to do the same.
- As we all teach and learn in His way and become more like Him, our light shines brighter and cannot be hid and becomes a standard to those who are looking for the Savior's light.
Quentin L. Cook -Foundations of Faith
- Personal foundations, like many worthwhile pursuits, are usually built slowly--one layer, one experience, one challenge, one setback, and one success at a time.
- Ten thousand hours of practice is required to achieve the level of mastery associated with being a world-class expert--in anything.
- Adversity should not be viewed as either disfavor from the Lord or a withdrawal of His blessings. Opposition in all things is part of the refiner's fire to prepare us for an eternal celestial destiny.
- Fear not what man can do, for God shall be with you forever and ever.
Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
-Sarnic Dirchi
