This is a blog that I will keep in confidence. I write down my thoughts because they are all I have. It's amazing to me, because as I read the scriptures I am constantly feeling stronger and stronger to serve my fellow men. A couple of scriptures that continuously stand out to me are:
Matt 10:38-39- And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 39-He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
Matt 10:28- And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matt 10:30- But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 32-Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33- But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Matt 5:14-16- Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid 15-Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16- Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.
These scriptures stand out to me so much. They make me want to be more! I want to serve my fellow men so much more, and I know that's why we're here on this earth. The confusion, the business of life and everything around it can turn into so much turmoil and strife. But as we put our focus on others, our focus is to become like Christ and we serve Him and forget our own lives.
"Men and women who turn their lives over to God will discover that He can make a lot more out of their lives than they can. He will deepen their joys, expand their vision, quicken their minds, strengthen their muscles, lift their spirits, multiply their blessings, increase their opportunities, comfort their souls, raise up friends, and pour out peace" Ezra Taft Benson (teachings of ETB, p 361)
