Quote- "No part of walking by faith is more difficult than walking the road of repentance. However, with 'faith unto repentance,' we can push roadblocks out of the way, moving forward to beg God for mercy...One simply surrenders, caring only about what God thinks, not what 'they' think...Giving away all our sins is the only way we can come to know God." ~Elder Neal A. Maxwell
Question- What are you willing to give to know Him?

Question- What do you think some of the "mighty miracles" may be that the Lord will work through you?
Friday comment:
ReplyDeleteI think it is most difficult when we feel we have been wronged by others (like a child who challenges our authority to choose the right or when someone takes our parking space or when someone cuts us off in traffic. But we have made a covenant to represent the Savior so we need to remember to act as he would. I'm getting better in my old age and I try to remember that everyone is a child of God and needs my respect - I'm a work in progress!

ReplyDeleteWe all make huge sacrifices to be active temple worthy members. I think mostly our time is one that I want to be selfish with but also our desires, bad habits, fears etc those are the things that we hang onto; but surely if we can give them up and imagine a box you have wrapped beautifully and give it to our savior then he trully will become our friend and companion in everything we do and he will give you unmeasureable peace and blessings that you won't be able to receive them all...it really is true, I know!

ReplyDeleteI know that converting & testifying to people are miracles that Father works through me and it is one of my true joys in this life.
