Can a person be too spiritual? The task of being spiritually minded is overcoming the world to be spiritually centered, like the Savior. (Spiritual people do their best to see, feel, think, and act like God—and not just on Sunday but always.) “Always” is the key to goodness but is “always” too much? Perhaps, to worldly people […]
I felt bummed and thought bummer things. Only listen to the Lord repeated again and again in my mind and I thought ya but He’s not talking, the adversary is. Then it occurred to me, the adversary’s voice is very pronounced in your mind because you listen to him all the time. The Lord’s voice […]
The words to this song are beautiful and I share them with the hope that they’ll uplift you: Peace in Christ There is peace in Christ When we learn of him Feel the love He felt for us When he bore our sins Listen to his words Let them come alive If we know Him […]
Conditions of parts of the world are chaos. Some lives are experiencing much turmoil. Volatile things are in the air. Where can peace be found? I believe peace is found in the message of this video.
Two goals of my life are to let go of my ego (pride) and have none, and to love no matter what is encountered. Any form of anger or anything that causes me to consider myself is pride. (“How dare they do that to ME.”) It’s not about me but them. “Ye have heard that it hath […]
Thinking back to the first year I got MS and the last nine years causes me to think of peace. When my life was turned upside down by MS peace was the last thing on my mind. I wanted my normal, what I knew and the status quo but I got turmoil, disruption and new. […]
Early this morning I dreamed this dream: People’s earthly faith became heavenly belief and they were each surrounded with a force field that protected them. Their faith made them righteous, holy, and able to withstand evil without fear. They happily lived their lives and knew in whom they trusted. “And it came to pass that […]
Whatever I say is said because I care, not because of ulterior motives or hidden agendas. My only hope is that what I say helps someone in some way. The thought might be I don’t believe it. No one is like that! and I say, “Believe it because it’s true.” Some people might say heart-felt words but then not really […]
How can I not bear my testimony on Fast Sunday when love is in my heart for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ because of all they’ve done for me? My testimony is reflected in this statement by C.S. Lewis: “Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, […]
The thought in my mind this morning was ‘Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is the Christ.” When Christ comes again everyone will remember Him and feel, based on what they believe, happy or ashamed. I’m thankful for the reminder that it’s all about Jesus Christ. The focus is not that […]
My feelings were sad all day. Yesterday, the all too familiar voice in my mind whispered to me something that I told myself wasn’t true but a small part of me believed it, and it made me sad. Today, bummer thoughts were in my mind all day and said damning things and by evening time I’d had it. […]
Meditating and quieting the mind have always puzzled me because I wondered if I was doing them right. I believe I AM doing them right but it’s a little different as a Christian. Meditating To me, meditating is two things: praying and pondering. Praying is protection, or being armed if you will, against the unsavory things in life. Prayer is […]
The idea to ‘Focus Only On the Good’ has helped me SO much: Focus only on positive thoughts (I can’t control what thoughts enter my mind, but I can control what I continue to think about. If a negative thought enters my mind it’s me who chooses to think more negative things and dwell on […]
Sometimes I’m mad and rightly so, but what else can I do but forgive and not get a bitter heart. I ask the Lord to forgive me and yet I do the same thing time and time again. But He mercifully forgives me every time I repent because He knows I’m not perfect but am […]
