Day Nine

"Render all the thanks and praise which your whole soul has power to possess, to that God who has created you, and has kept and preserved you, and has caused that ye should rejoice..." Mosiah 2:20 Today's reading challenge is King Benjamin's talk in Mosiah. I liked that scripture, so I thought I would share.

The challenge has to do with following words of the Prophets. Just as ancient prophets such as King Benjamin had the keys the prophet and our church leaders have keys. We get specific and personal guidance for our day and our time. What a great blessing! The conference talk that I really loved was the talk by President Eyring in the Sunday morning session. I will share a few quotes:

"Different as we are in circumstances and experiences, we share a desire to become better than we are. There may be a few who mistakenly feel they are good enough and a few who have given up trying to be better. But, for all, the message of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is that we can and must expect to become better as long as we live."

"Love is the motivating principle by which the Lord leads us along the way towards becoming like Him, our perfect example. Our way of life, hour by hour, must be filled with the love of God and love for others. There is no surprise in that, since the Lord proclaimed those as the first and great commandments. It is love of God that will lead us to keep His commandments. And love of others is at the heart of our capacity to obey Him."

"Pray for the love which allows you to see the good in your companion. Pray for the love that makes weaknesses and mistakes seem small. Pray for the love to make your companion’s joy your own. Pray for the love to want to lessen the load and soften the sorrows of your companion."

I loved the entire talk.
