“It is my firm belief that if as individual people, as families, communities, nations, we could like Peter, fix our eyes on Jesus, we too might walk triumphantly over the “swelling waves of disbelief” and remain “unterrified amid the rising winds of doubt.” But if we turn our eyes from him in whom we must believe, as it is so easy to do and the world is so much tempted to do, if we look at the power and fury of those terrible and destructive elements around us rather than to him who can help and save us, then we shall inevitably sink in a sea of conflict and sorrow and despair.” ~ President Howard W. Hunter
The world finds more clever ways to distract us from Him, yet He is the only way to full truth; the only way to endless peace and joy. The ‘price’ we pay for this blessing here, is far less difficult than an eternity of what the adversary offers / tempts us to do! kdm
