I have been keeping a list of quotes for the past couples years. The list has grown...to lots and lots of pages typed. And these are motivational-churchy-gospel quotes; these don't even include madagascar-emperors-new-groove-spongebob quotes. So here are some pinterest-worthy-spiritual-happy-famous-mormon-speaker quotes. I love them. And I can't get enough.
. . . . . .
I am convinced that missionary
work is not easy because salvation is not a cheap experience.
Salvation never was easy. We are the church of Jesus Christ, this is
the truth , and He is our great eternal head. How could we believe
it would be easy for us when it was never, ever easy for Him? {Elder
Jeffrey R. Holland}
(Ok, talk about perspective..)
We must develop the capacity to
see men not as they are at present but as they may become when they
receive testimonies of the gospel of Christ. {Thomas S. Monson}
(I need to remember this. And this should have been my motto working all summer with 15 year old boys, which seem to have brains still in the early stages of development)
By coming unto Christ, every soul
can see, feel, and know of a surety that Christ suffered and atoned
for our sins that we may have eternal life...There is no burden that
He cannot ease or move. He knows about our infirmities and
sicknesses. I promise and testify to you that when all doors seem to
be closed, when everything else seems to fail, He will not fail you. {Walter F. Gonzalez}
(Yep, that's a promise: He will not fail you)
The lord did not people the earth
with a vibrant orchestra of personalities only to to value the
piccolos of the world. Every instrument is precious and adds to the
complex beauty of the symphony. {Elder Withlin}
(Makes me want to burst out into the EFY song about 'life is a symphony'...)
The cause of Christ does not need
your doubt, it needs your strengh and time and talents, and as you
exercise these in service, your faith will grow and your doubts will
wane. {Gordon B. Hinkley}
(Buck up and do something good. Coming straight from him.)
There is one responsibility which
no man can evade; that responsiblitiy is his personal influence.
Every moment of life man is changing, to a degree, the life of the
whole world. {David O Mckay}
(If only we all realized our influence and ability....)
Coveting, pouting, or tearing
others down does not elevate your standing, nor does demeaning
someone else imporove your self image. So be kind and be grateful
that God is kind. It is a happy way to live.
{Elder Holland}
(This sounds so easy. Until you get on facebook, or start watching those wedding videos. Oops.)
Discipleship is believing Him in
seasons of peace and believing Him in seasons of difficulty, when
our pain and fear are calmed only by the conviction that he loves us
and keeps his promises. {Neil A Anderson}
{Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming)
. . . . .
And I could go on, and on, and on....with quotes. There are sooo many good ones. It's like biting into a reeces - so much good stuff in just a little bite.
