Ministering brings miracles and the blessings of covenant belonging–where we feel God’s love and seek to minister to others in that spirit.
Gospel joy and blessings come when we seek to love the Lord and others with all our hearts and souls.
The scriptures invite us to place all we are and are becoming on the altar of love and service
We rejoice in the invitation to devote our whole souls to seeking higher and holier ways to love God and those around us and to strengthen our faith in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ in our hearts and in our homes and at church.
Establish regular patterns of righteous living that deepen faith and spirituality.
When righteous patterns and spiritual yearnings join, time and eternity come together
Spiritual light and life come when regular religious observance draws us closer to our Heavenly Father and our Savior, Jesus Christ
When we love the spirit and letter of the law, the things of eternity can distill upon our souls like the dews from heaven.
With daily obedience and refreshing living water, we find answers, faith, and strength to meet everyday challenges and opportunities with gospel patience, perspective, and joy.
Remember perfection is in Christ, not in ourselves or in the perfectionism of the world.
By his grace ye may be perfect in Christ” is also the comfort, peace, and promise that we can continue forward with faith and confidence in the Lord even when things do not go as we hope, expect, or perhaps deserve, through no fault of our own, even after we have done our best.
In various times and ways, we all feel inadequate, uncertain, perhaps unworthy. Yet in our faithful efforts to love God and to minister to our neighbor, we may feel God’s love and needed inspiration for their and our lives in new and holier ways.
