I’ve been thinking a lot lately of the importance of purification. Zion can’t be built until we are purified. It becomes overwhelming sometimes as There is so much to worry about these days. So much to get angry about. I find myself constantly surrounded by the demons that cause us to become angry.
Moroni 7 says, “48 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this LOVE, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen.” ....
“Be like HIM”! How do we do this. How do we keep ourselves from getting frustrated, depressed and overwhelmed?? One way our family has been trying to raise the bar with our attitudes is focusing on the fruits of the spirit. I stop multiple times during the day to evaluate my feelings and if they are “like” the saviors. I try to recognize my feelings and where our hearts are.
We’ve decided to line our hallway with scriptures/quotes/definitions that will help is recognize these “fruits” more clearly. Our children have been finding things to go under each category. I’d love for others to share their favorites that can go on our wall! My prayer is to avoid feelings of anger and frustration and fill my heart with pure love for EVERYONE no matter the situation.
