Pearls of wisdom

My favorite lines from conference

Feast upon that which perisheth not.

Reverence is profound respect.

Reverence invites revelation.

Knowing that the seed is good is not enough. We must nourish it.

We all fall short of the glory of God.

Out Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever.

It is always the right time to walk in his ways. It’s never to late.

The Lord will shape the back to fit the burden.

Our days are days long anticipated in the history of the world.

Discipleship is a journey.

Ask and ye shall receive. Knock and it shall be opened unto you.
The Lord’s words,
“This is my church and I will establish it and nothing will overthrow it.”

Faith and doubt cannot exist in the same mind at the same time. One will dispel the other.

His arm is sufficient.

Pray always, increase in faith and personal righteousness, strengthen your family and serve others.

Hold fast to the iron rod. There is danger of drowning in dirty water.

Family prayer and family scripture reading will strengthen families.

There are opportunities everywhere to help someone in need. For are we not all beggars?

The Savior made the loneliest journey ever made. Even those most precious to Him would not stand with him in the end. Judas betrayed Him for thirty pieces of silver; Peter, James and John slept; Peter denied Him three times; all the disciples left and fled. The supporting circle around Jesus grew smaller and smaller until in the end he endured the paralyzing despair of divine withdrawal. “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?” It was required for the atonement that the Father had to briefly withdraw his spirit from His son. He had to feel what it was like to die not only physically but to die spiritually which leaves one to feel hopelessly alone. Jesus Pressed on. He restored physical life and brought redemption. He pleased His father perfectly.

The Moral footings of society continue to slip.

If we allow ourselves to dwell only on what’s wrong we will feel oppressed. We must focus on our blessings.

God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love and a sound mind.

The Lord said, “Be of good cheer and do not fear for I will stand by you.

If we make the gospel of Jesus Christ the center of our lives, we will be victorious.

Faith gives us the strength we need.

The temple expands our vision.

Whenever we build a temple the bells of hell begin to ring.

God’s wisdom is greater than the cunning of the devil.

There is protecting power in the temple ordinances to those who honestly hold a name in standing in the holy temple. No weapon against them will prosper.

The devil despises the Lord’s house.

The protection we have from the temple stands as a great obstacle to Lucifer.
The temple is a refuge from the storm.

Now is the time to labor. Cast away the things in your life that stand in the way. Spend your time on the things that matter most and the fire of the covenant will burn on your heart.

Everything that is good and enticeth to do good is from God.

We can always trust the living prophets. Their words are the mind and will of God.

The field is white already to harvest. Open your mouths and they shall be filled.
If we love and serve one another, we stay connected to our covenants and each other.

Greed shows itself in the face of entitlement.

Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

The plan of the gospel of Jesus Christ lifts us above our selfish desires and teaches us what we can become.

“We can do no great things, only small things with great love.” —Mother Teresa

We are happier and more fulfilled by what we give, not by what we get.”
Eternal life is the greatest gift of God.

Satan’s pathways lead to destruction.

Jesus is the Christ.
