~Elder Neil A. Andersen
“Spiritual Whirlwinds”, General Conference April 2014
“In the words of Elder Neal A. Maxwell: “Christ’s victory over death
ended the human predicament. Now there are only personal predicaments, and from
these too we may be rescued by following the teachings of him who rescued us
from general extinction.”
~Elder D.
Todd Christofferson “The Resurrection of Jesus Christ”, April 2014 General
Conference, lds.org.
“Likewise, besides being a “perfect, just God,” He is a perfect,
merciful God. Thus,
the Savior makes all things right. No injustice in mortality is permanent, even
death, for He restores life again. No injury, disability, betrayal, or abuse
goes uncompensated in the end because of His ultimate justice and mercy.”
~Elder D.
Todd Christofferson “The Resurrection of Jesus Christ”, April 2014 General
Conference, lds.org.
“It is one thing to know that Jesus Christ came to the earth
to die for us. But we also need to appreciate that the Lord
desires, through His Atonement and by the power of the Holy Ghost, to enliven us—not
only to guide but also to strengthen and heal us.”
~Elder David
A. Bednar April 2014 Conference “Bear UpTheir Burdens With Ease”, lds.org.
“Not only does the
Atonement of Jesus Christ overcome the effects of the Fall of Adam and make
possible the remission of our individual sins and transgressions, but His
Atonement also enables us to do good and become better in ways that stretch far
beyond our mortal capacities. Most of us know that when we do things wrong and
need help to overcome the effects of sin in our lives, the Savior has made it
possible for us to become clean through His redeeming power. But do we also
understand that the Atonement is for faithful men and women who are obedient,
worthy, and conscientious and who are striving to become better and serve more
faithfully? I wonder if we fail to fully acknowledge this strengthening aspect
of the Atonement in our lives and mistakenly believe we must carry our load all
alone—through sheer grit, willpower, and discipline and with our obviously
limited capacities.”
~Elder David A. Bednar April
2014 Conference “Bear UpTheir Burdens With Ease”, lds.org.
“The Atonement of Jesus Christ makes possible our
becoming more like our Father in Heaven so that we can live together eternally
in our family units.”
~Elder Richard G. Scott “I Have
Given You an Example ” April 2014 General Conference, lds.org.
“The Lord’s way is the only way for us to experience enduring
happiness.”
~Elder Russell M. Nelson “Let
Your Faith Show” April 2014 General Conference, lds.org.
“Not only does the Atonement of Jesus Christ overcome
the effects of the Fall of Adam and make possible the remission of our
individual sins and transgressions, but His Atonement also enables us to do
good and become better in ways that stretch far beyond our mortal capacities.”
~Elder David A. Bednar “Bear Up Their Burdens
with Ease” April 2014 General Conference
“Through the Savior’s Atonement we can receive capacity and
strength beyond your own.”
~Elder David A. Bednar “Bear Up
Their Burdens with Ease” April 2014 General Conference
“By the
same token, we are all accountable to Him for our lives, our choices, and our
actions, even our thoughts. Because He redeemed us from the Fall, our lives are
in reality His.”
~Elder D.
Todd Christofferson “The Resurrection of Jesus Christ”, April 2014 General
Conference, lds.org.
|My
Feelings|
I
am grateful for second chances and for living prophets today who can touch my
heart and help me understand the gospel at a deeper level. I especially love
the quote from Elder Christofferson. I need to always remember everything I
have been given is from Him. I am in debt to Him and will not be able to repay
that debt, but I can show Him my gratitude for it through my actions, words,
and deeds.
