Men Are That They Might Have Joy

With Celestial Sight, Trials Impossible To Change Become Possible To Endure.

We Should Not Be Discouraged Or Depressed By Our Shortcomings. No One Is Without Weakness. As Part Of The Divine Plan, We Are Tested To See Whether We Master Weakness Or Let Weakness Master Us. Proper Diagnosis Is Essential To Proper Treatment. The Lord Gave Us This Remarkable Assurance: "because Thou Hast Seen Thy Weakness Thou Shalt Be Made Strong" (ether 12:37). But Wishing For Strength Won't Make Us Strong. It Takes Faith And Work To Shore Up A Weakened Cord Of Integrity.

The Development Of Faith In The Lord Is An Individual Matter. Repentance Is Also An Individual Matter. Only As An Individual Can One Be Baptized And Receive The Holy Ghost. Each Of Us Is Born Individually; Likewise, Each Of Us Is "born Again" Individually. Salvation Is An Individual Matter.

How Much Better It Would Be If All Could Be More Aware Of God's Providence And Love And Express That Gratitude To Him. Ammon Taught, 'let Us Give Thanks To (god), For He Doth Work Righteousness Forever.' Our Degree Of Gratitude Is A Measure Of Our Love For Him.

Act By Inspiration, Motivated By Love.
