"Therefore, let him contend earnestly for the redemption of the First Presidency of my Church, saith the Lord; and when he falls he shall rise again, for his sacrifice shall be more sacred unto me than his increase, saith the Lord." (D&C 117:13)
I heard this scripture a few weeks ago and I just have not been able to get it out of my head.
I love this sentiment. It is so powerful....
It is not how great we have become, how wonderful, accomplished, spiritual, motherly etc etc we are, all that matters is that we rise every time we fall, that we keep trying and trying and trying some more. Each one of us will be judged by our own yard stick that will include just one measure - when I fell what did I do?
It is a heart and soul that is willing to get up again and change and try harder than before, that is worth more than all the talents and treasures and accomplishments there are to be had.
Got to love that x
