Continuing from yesterday…
“Men and Women who turn their lives over to God will discover that He can make a lot more out of their lives than they can. He will deepen their joys, expand their vision, quicken their minds, strengthen their muscles, lift their spirits, multiply their blessings, increase their opportunities, comfort their soul, raise up friends, and pour out peace. Whoever will lose his life in the service of God will find eternal life.” ~President Ezra Taft Benson
When we turn our lives over to Him we ‘win’ far more of real and eternal value than this world has to offer… because the direction and discipline He teaches to our vulnerable hearts brings joy and inner peace outside of ‘worldly wisdom and motives’. In God’s eyes we are as little children. When we see our own children in mortality grow a little at a time and become masters over simple then hard things, so our spirits grow when we truly turn our agency over to God to mold and direct our growth. Just as we take pleasure in seeing growth in our own children, no doubt He is greatly pleased when we follow that path that leads back to him. There is no better way! kdm
