But then the still small voice whispers in my ear and nudges, "Do it now. You will thank me later."
After serving the Lord for 18 months, I have learned to listen when that voice comes.
This morning, I felt like a mortal human, with things to do...
...but I listened...
and at this moment, I feel calm, empowered, and hopeful.
Who doesn't need those? That is the perfect way to start the day.
Tender Mercy 4: The Ensign article I read this morning.
Becoming Men & Women of God, by Elder Craig A. Cardon. You can click on the image above to take you right there.
It was amazing. I love the individuals Elder Cardon describes. I love the strength and power of his wife. I strive fro the characteristics he highlights. Please read it.
Tender Mercy 5: 2 Nephi 31:20
This is my ABSOLUTE favorite scripture. (Which is saying something. I don't like to be a band-wagon member...I don't want to like something, just because everyone else likes it. This is a scripture that everyone likes...so by default I should DISLIKE it. But I love it)
This scripture was written for me and the struggles in my life. It has given me strength during NUMEROUS life trials, and I am sure I will find power in it forever more.
20) Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.
I bolded the parts that are most influential for me. What inspires you?
