No Perfect Revelation

“I do not even believe that there is a single revelation, among the many God has given to the Church, that is perfect in its fulness. The revelations of God contain correct doctrine and principle, so far as they go; but it is impossible for the poor, weak, low, groveling, sinful inhabitants of the earth to receive a revelation from the Almighty in all its perfections. He has to speak to us in a manner to meet the extent of our capacities.” (Brigham Young JD 2:314.)

Like children, we are sometimes only capable of receiving revelations in part, or in basic form, and often in concepts which are familiar to us in our surroundings.

Behold, I am God and have spoken it; these commandments are of me, and were given unto my servants in their weakness, after the manner of their language, that they might come to understanding. (D&C 1:24.)

Judging Success

Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it!

Have You Found Your Self?

The more we serve our fellowmen in appropriate ways, the more substance there is to our souls. We become more significant individuals as we serve others. We become more substantive as we serve others--indeed, it is easier to "find" ourselves because there is so much more of us to find!

Spencer W. Kimball

Love is...

Love is...doing the best thing for everyone involved,
including yourself.

Service Heals

when we are serving others,
we are healing ourselves.

From success, not so much."

possessing

“You need not possess children to love them. Loving is not synonymous with possessing, and possessing is not necessarily loving. The world is filled with people to be loved, guided, taught, lifted, and inspired.”
