I'm listening to the General Women's Broadcast.
here are some of things that struck me .
I. JEAN BINGHAM (PRIMARY GENERAL PRESIDENT)
*HAVE CHARITY. DON'T JUDGE.
LITTLE GIRL: THAT CHICKEN LOOKS WEIRD!
MOM: THAT IS A PEACOCK
II. CAROLE M. STEPHENS (RELIEF SOCIETY GENERAL PRESIDENT)
**HAVE A BEDROCK UNDERSTANDING OF THE GOSPEL
1. You don't have to continue to continue to carry the burden of sorry caused by sin alone
2. you don't have to carry the pain caused by the unrighteous actions of others, alone
3. YOU DON'T HAVE to experience the painful realities of mortality alone..
COME UNTO HIM AND HE WILL HEAL YOU AND HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
HE WILL DO ANYTHING TO TAKE THIS FROM YOU…INFACT HE ALREADY HAS.
III. BONNIE OSCARSON (YW GENERAL PRESIDENT)
STUDY THE GOSPEL HAVE STRON
1. ACKNOWLEDGE THE GODHEAD
-UNDERSTAND & STUDY ATONEMENT
-REPENTANCE
-JESUS CHRIST IS OUR PRIMARY ROLE MODEL AND EXAMPLE OF WHO WE NEED TO BECAOME
-TEACH OUR FAMILIES
2. understand THE RESTORATION OF THE DOCTRINE, ORGANIZATION AND PRIESTHOOD AUTHORITIES
3. STUDY AND UNDERSTAND THE TEMPLE ORDINANCES AND COVENANTS
-ATTEND, PONDER, STUDY AND FIND PERSONAL MEANING AND APPLICATION INDIVIDUALLY
THROUGH ORDINANCE OF THE TEMPLE WE CAN BE ARMED WITH GOD'S POWER
ARE WE FULLY DRAWING UPON THE POWER OF THESE PROMISES?
ALL WOMEN NEED TO SEE THEMSELVES AS ESSENTIAL AS PARTICIPANTS IN THE WORK OF THE PRIESTHOOD.
LISTEN TO MESSAGES OF OUR LEADERS.
IV. DIETER UCHTDORF
FAITH—WHAT IS IT, WHAT IT CAN AND CANNOT DO
FAITH IS POWERFUL ..OFTEN IT RESULT IN MIRACLES BUT NO MATTER HOW MUCH FAITH WE HAVE..THERE ARE TWO THINGS FAITH CANNOT DO.
1. FAITH CANNOT VIOLATE ANOTHER PERSON'S AGENCY
—AS PAINFUL AS IT MIGHT BE FOR OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN…HE WILL NOT FORCE ANYONE TO CHOOSE THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. GOD WILL INVITE, PERSUADE, REACH OUT TIRELESSLY WITH LOVE BUT GOD WILL NEVER COMPEL.
2. FORCE OUR WILL UPON GOD. WE CANT FORCE GOD TO COMPLY TO OUR DESIRES
THE PURPOSE OF FAITH IS NOT TO CHANGE GOD'S WILL, BUT TO EMPOWER US TO ACT ON GOD'S WILL.
FAITH IS TRUST.. TRUST THAT GOD SEES WHAT WE CANNOT, THAT HE KNOWS WHAT WE DO NOT.
TRUST GOD!
GOD LOVES US PERFECTLY. IN THE END EVERYTHING WILL MAKE SENSE. ALL WILL BE MADE RIGHT. ALL WILL BE MADE WELL.
WE WILL BE OVERWHELMED BY THE LOVE OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. WE WALK WITH WHATEVER FAITH WE HAVE. SEEKING ALWAYS TO INCREASE IT.
FAITH COMES TO THE HUMBLE. DELLIGENT AND ENDURING.
ENDURING FAITH…KNOCK AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU.
WILL WE GIVE UP AFTER KNOCKING ON A DOOR OR TWO? A FLOOR OR TWO? OR ARE WE GOING TO CONTINUE SEEKING UNTIL WE HAVE REACH 4TH FLOOR LAST DOOR.
GOD WILL REWARD THOSE WHO EARNESTLY SEEK HIM. BUT THAT REWARD IS NOT USUALLY BEHIND THE FIRST DOOR. CONTINUE TO KEEP KNOCKING. DON'T GIVE UP! SEEK GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART. EXERCISE FAITH... WALK IN RIGHTEOUSNESS.
EVEN ON 4TH FLOOR LAST DOOR. YOU WILL RECIEVE THE ANSWERS,THE KNOWLEDGE YOU SEEK. YOU WILL BE FILLED WITH LIGHT THAT GROWS BRIGHTER AND BRIGHTER.
GOD IS REAL. HE LIVES. HE KNOWS YOU. HE KNOWS YOUR SILENT PLEADINGS OF YOUR HEART. HE HAS NOT ABANDONED YOU. LIVE IN FAITH.
"THIS" IS THE WORK OF GOD!
