For the Lord, through His prophet, is calling each of us to live and care in a “higher and holier way” and to “take a step higher.”
Divine discontent comes when we compare “what we are [to] what we have the power to become.”
One way to tell divine discontent from Satan’s counterfeit is that divine discontent will lead us to faithful action. Divine discontent is not an invitation to stay in our comfort zone, nor will it lead us to despair.
Never suppress a generous thought.
Whether they are direct promptings or just impulses to help, a good deed is never wasted, for “charity never faileth”–and is never the wrong response.
Sisters, you and I can plead for the Holy Ghost to show us “all things what [we] should do,” even when our to-do list already looks full.
When prompted, we can leave dishes in the sink or an in-box full of challenges demanding attention in order to read to a child, visit with a friend, babysit a neighbor’s children, or serve in the temple.
But the good news of the gospel is that with the grace of God, we are enough. With Christ’s help, we can do all things.
What you have to offer is more than enough–even with your human frailties and weaknesses–if you rely on the grace of God.
