TIMING IN ALL THINGS
All things must come to pass in their time.~D&C 64:32
In most big decisions, what is most important is to do the #right#thing. Second, and only slightly behind the first, is to do the right thing at the #right#time. ~@OaksDallinH
EFFECTIVE GOALS should always be accompanied by #plans to accomplish them [which] will lead to momentum and success.
We should be willing to #amend our goals or their timing, according to the inspiration of the Lord or the direction of His #servants.
~@OaksDallinH
GOAL SETTING
#Goals should concern things that can be attained by our personal efforts. They should not depend upon the agency or efforts of others. They should always be accompanied by plans to accomplish them.~@OaksDallinH
BE A CHANNEL OF GOD'S GRACE
As we are kind and serve each other as the #Savior would, even in the smallest of ways, we can become a channel of God’s grace to help those in our circle of influence feel the Savior’s love and hope. ~@EyringHB#Grace#Love#Hope#Light
NONE is acceptable before God, save the #meek and #lowly in heart.~Moroni 7:44 Such #humility is the opposite of #pride, the universal sin.
"Even if I could conceive that I had completely overcome it, I should probably be proud of my humility."~Ben Franklin
"IT'S NOT THE #PATTERN OF THE #LORD to give reasons. In less than one in a hundred commands [in the scriptures] was any reason given" . . . for a divine revelation or commandment from the Lord. ~@OaksDallinH
MY SON, peace be unto thy soul; thine afflictions shall be but a small moment; And then, if thou #endure it well, #God shall #exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes.~#JesusChrist, D&C 121:7-8
For I will #lead you along.~D&C 78:18
ONE OFFERING of #Christ for all time and all us:
I come to do thy will, O God . . . By which will we are sanctified through the offering once of the body of Jesus Christ.~Heb. 10: 10 JST
JESUS CHRIST: VICTIM
For where a covenant is, there must also of necessity be the death of the victim. For a covenant is of force after the victim is dead; otherwise it is of no strength at all while the victim liveth.~Hebrews 9:16-17 JST
#Testator or #Victim -> #Covenant
#CHRIST: HEIR GIVER
All who have died without a knowledge of this gospel, who would have received it if they had been permitted to tarry, shall be heirs of the celestial kingdom of God~Jesus Christ, D&C 137:7
WE SAW THE #END from the #beginning. All the myriads of mortals who have been born on this earth chose the Father's plan and fought for it in the heavenly contest that followed.~@OaksDallinH
GRAND COUNCIL IN HEAVEN
Before we were born on this earth, there was the Grand Council in Heaven. There the spirit children of God were taught His eternal plan for their destiny.~@OaksDallinH#premortality#planofsalvation --> #eternal life
REVERENCE INVITES REVELATION~Boyd K. Packer
Root word: #revere = deep #respect, #remembrance and #veneration of God. This foundational virtue enables us to hear the "still, small voice".
See 1 Kings 19:12; D&C 85:6
SEEK NOT to #counsel the Lord, but to take counsel from his #hand~Jacob 4:10
Woe to he who "has depended upon his own #judgment and boasted in his own #wisdom."~D&C 3:13
RECOGNIZE THE LORD speaks to us through the Spirit in His own time and in His own way. Many . . . believe He will immediately respond [in their prescribed way to their calls to Him]. #Revelation does not come that way. ~See @OaksDallinH Ensign, August, 2013
LINE UPON LINE
When the Lord give us "line upon line" and "precept upon precept" about himself and His plans . . . some demand paragraphs and even pages. When God provides "here a little and there a little (Isa. 28:10) some want a lot--now!~Neal A. Maxwell
#FRUITS OF THE #SPIRIT OF CHRIST
Such fruits are the positive results of: joy, peace understanding, hope, wisdom, and unselfishness.
~See Gal 5:22-23; 1 Cor. 13:5
Such fruits are not the negative results of anxiety, fear, despair, and discouragement.
