Set Aside Those Things That Don't Really

Don't Look For A Life Virtually Free From Discomfort, Pain, Pressure, Challenge, Or Grief, For Those Are The Tools A Loving Father Uses To Stimulate Our Personal Growth And Understanding.

Are There So Many Fascinating, Exciting Things To Do Or So Many Challenges Pressing Down Upon You That It Is Hard To Keep Focused On That Which Is Essential? When Things Of The World Crowd In, All Too Often The Wrong Things Take Highest Priority. Then It Is Easy To Forget The Fundamental Purpose Of Life. Satan Has A Powerful Tool To Use Against Good People. It Is Distraction. He Would Have Good People Fill Life With 'good Things' So There Is No Room For The Essential Ones. Have You Unconsciously Been Caught In That Trap?

Something Extraordinary Is Happening. Do You Sense It? Truly, As Obedience And Morality Decline In The World, The Lord Is Sending More Exceptional Spirits To Earth. As A Body They Excel The Average Capacity Of Their Forebears. Their Potential For Personal Growth And Positive Contribution Is Enormous.

Pondering A Passage Of Scripture Can Be A Key To Unlock Revelation And The Guidance And Inspiration Of The Holy Ghost. Scriptures Can Calm An Agitated Soul, Giving Peace, Hope, And A Restoration Of Confidence In One’s Ability To Overcome The Challenges Of Life. They Have Potent Power To Heal Emotional Challenges When There Is Faith In The Savior. They Can Accelerate Physical Healing.

Two Of The Vital Pillars That Sustain Father In Heaven’s Plan Of Happiness Are Marriage And The Family. Their Lofty Significance Is Underscored By Satan’s Relentless Efforts To Splinter The Family And To Undermine The Significance Of Temple Ordinances, Which Bind The Family Together For Eternity. The Temple Sealing Has Greater Meaning As Life Unfolds. It Will Help You Draw Ever Closer Together And Find Greater Joy And Fulfillment In Mortality.
