guilt

the last few days i've been griping to paul about a certain someone that has gotten on my nerves.
i know it's wrong but sometimes i just give in and do it.

today in sunday school we spoke extensively about the temple and our relationship with God and our sunday school teacher reminded us that if we are cruel or even slightly rude to one of God's children then we can't have a good relationship with God. it just doesn't make any logical or spiritual sense. oh, how this brought my issues to heart. and made me look at this person in a new light. one that i've only considered once before. a very humbling lesson that i need to remember always. especially if i want my relationship with God to always be on good terms.

my renewed goal is to cut out any form of negative thoughts about this person and remember who they are.

the temple

The temple is
the very object
of every activity,
every lesson,
every progressive step in the Church.

All of our efforts
in proclaiming the gospel,
perfecting the Saints,
and redeeming the dead
lead to the

Holy Temple.

Elder Russell M. Nelson
