mistake clouds darkness
You must not mistake passing local cloud cover, for general darkness.
selfishness world way
Thus worshiping, serving, studying, praying, each in its own way squeezes selfishness out of us; pushes aside our preoccupations with the things of the world.
imperfection judgemental missionary
The more seriously we work on our own imperfections, the less we are judgemental of the imperfections of others.
selfishness heavy hardest
The hardest work you and I will ever do is to put off our selfishness. It is heavy lifting!
surrender lord negotiation
Coming unto the Lord is not a negotiation, but a surrender.
jesus rooms ifs
Each of us is an innkeeper who decides if there is room for Jesus!
desire
What we insistently desire, over time, is what we become.
brother giving individual
In conclusion, the submission of one's will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God's altar. The many other things we 'give,' brothers and sisters, are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us. However, when you and I finally submit ourselves, by letting our individual wills be swallowed up in God's will, then we are really giving something to Him! It is the only possession which is truly ours to give!
jesus irritation giving
Like Jesus, we can decide, daily or instantly, to give no heed to temptation (see D&C 20:22). We can respond to irritation with a smile instead of scowl, or by giving warm praise instead of icy indifference. By our being understanding instead of abrupt, others, in turn, may decide to hold on a little longer rather than to give way. Love, patience, and meekness can be just as contagious as rudeness and crudeness.
matter firsts kingdoms
If the kingdom of God is not first, it doesn't matter what's second.
father lds soul
God, as a loving Father, will stretch our souls at times. The soul is like a violin string: it makes music only when it is stretched. . . . God will tutor us by trying us because He loves us, not because of indifference!
jobs reality self
While most of our suffering is self- inflicted, some is caused by or permitted by God. This sobering reality calls for deep submissiveness, especially when God does not remove the cup from us. In such circumstances, when reminded about the premortal shouting for joy as this life's plan was unfolded (Job 38:7), we can perhaps be pardoned if, in some moments, we wonder what all the shouting was about.
trials said fairs
A friend of mine who passed through a most severe trial, when I discussed it with him, he said simply, if it’s fair, it isn’t a trial.
knees
We are often not only to slow to get on our knees, but to quick to rise from them.
