Gary E. Stevenson -Spiritual Eclipse
- A spiritual eclipse can occur when we allow minor and troublesome obstructions--those we face in our daily lives--to get so close that they block out the magnitude, brightness, and warmth of the light of Jesus Christ and His gospel.
- Blindness is brought upon the man by himself. When we draw other things too close, placing them first, we obscure our vision of heaven.
- Perspective is the ability to see all relevant information in a meaningful relationship.
- Any virtue when taken to an extreme can become a vice.
- Comparing our own seemingly average existence with others' well-edited, perfectly crafted lives as represented on social media may leave us with feelings of discouragement, envy, and even failure.
- Success in life doesn't come down to how many likes we get or how many social media friends or followers we have. It does, however, have something to do with meaningfully connecting with others and adding light to their lives.
- Pride is often competitive; it is a tendency to seek to obtain more and presume we are better than others. Pride often results in feelings of anger and hatred; it cause one to hold grudges or to withhold forgiveness. Pride,
- Don't let life's distractions eclipse heaven's light.
Stephen W. Owen -Repentance Is Always Positive
- While there may be undefeated seasons in sports, there aren't any in life. But I testify that the Savior Jesus Christ worked out a perfect Atonement and gave us the gift of repentance--our path back to a perfect brightness of hope and a winning life.
- Repentance is always positive.
- The joy of repentance is more than the joy of living a decent life. It's the joy of forgiveness, of being clean gain, and of drawing closer to God. Once you've experienced that joy, no lesser substitute will do.
- Repentance both puts us on the right path and keeps us on the right path. It is for those who are just beginning to believe, those who have believed all along, and those who need to begin again to believe.
- It is not enough just to gain a testimony; you have to maintain it and strengthen it.
Quentin L. Cook -The Eternal Everyday
- We are all equal before God.
- Our Heavenly Father does not want His children to be discouraged or to give up on their quest for celestial glory.
- Sometimes humility is accepting callings when we do not feel adequate.
- Sometimes humility is serving faithfully when we feel capable of a more high-profile assignment.
- Be thou humble; and the Lord thy God shall lead thee by the hand, and give thee answer to thy prayer.
- Holding a grudge is poisonous to our souls.
Ronald A. Rasband -By Divine Design
- None of us ever fully utilizes the people-opportunities allocated to us within our circles of friendship.
- Our lives are like a chessboard, and the Lord moves us from one place to another--if we are responsive to spiritual promptings.
- There is a guiding hand above all things. Often when things happen, it is not by accident. One day, when we look back at the seeming coincidences of our lives, we will realize that perhaps they weren't so coincidental after all.
- The Lord is in the small details of our lives.
- Sometimes we consider changes in our plans as missteps on our journey. Think of them more as first steps to being "on the Lord's errand."
- Heavenly Father can put us in situations with specific intent in mind.
- Not all that the Lord asks of us is a result of how strong we are, how faithful we are, or what we may know.
O. Vincent Haleck -The Heart of the Widow
- A man can live in the dark for a period, but there will come a time when he will long to come into the light.
Russell M. Nelson -The Book of Mormon: What Would Your Life Be Like without It?
- You could have given me diamonds or rubies, but nothing is more precious to me than this additional knowledge about the Lord Jesus Christ.
- Conversion is an individual matter.
- The Book of Mormon is truly the word of God. It contains the answers to life's most compelling questions.
Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
