self empathy trying
Trying to observe the slow shift from self-centeredness to empathy is like trying to watch grass grow.
forever sometimes disappointed
It is better to trust and sometimes be disappointed than to be forever mistrusting and be right occasionally.
moving bored enemy
If the Church were not true, our enemies would be bored rather than threatened, and acquiescent rather than anxious. Hell is moved only when things move heavenward.
real needs god-knows
In a very real sense, all we need to know is that God knows all.
memories blessed voice
In a 'wheat and tares' world, how unusually blessed faithful members are to have the precious and constant gift of the Holy Ghost with reminders of what is right and of the covenants we have made. 'For behold, ... the Holy Ghost ... will show unto you all things what ye should do.' (2 Ne. 32:5.) Whatever the decibels of decadence, these need not overwhelm the still, small voice! Some of the best sermons we will ever hear will be thus prompted from the pulpit of memory—to an audience of one!
children joy serious
God is very serious about joy in the lives of His children.
spiritual taken heart
. . . just as God cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance, as we become more like Him, neither can we. The best people have a heightened awareness of what little of the worst is still in them! Indeed, the divine discontent, the justifiable spiritual restlessness that we feel, is a natural follow-on feeling in the disciple who has taken the Lord's counsel to "make you a new heart and a new spirit." (Ezekiel 18:31.)
self giving people
When at length we tire of putting people down, this self-inflicted fatigue can give way to the invigorating calisthenics of lifting people up.
anger light heat
Letting off steam always produces more heat than light.
real stupidity growth
Most of our suffering comes from sin and stupidity; it is, nevertheless, very real, and growth can occur with real repentance. But the highest source of suffering appears to be reserved for the innocent who undergo divine tutorial training.
lds grace survival
God’s grace will cover us like a cloak-enough to provide for survival but too thin to keep out all the cold.
who-we-are knows
How can we truly understand who we are unless we know who we were and what we have the power to become?
brother joy affliction
Our afflictions brothers and sisters often will not be extinguished, they will be dwarfed and swallowed up in the joy of Christ. That’s how we overcome, most of the time. It’s not their elimination, but the placing of them in that larger context.
caught caught-up thick
Beware not to get caught up in the thick of thin things.
