Food for the Soul


- The choice is not between what's convenient and inconvenient. The choice is between what kind of eternity we will have. 2 Nephi 2:27.  Agency is a great thing.  We are so blessed to be able to choose.  Choose correctly. 

-We do not earn forgiveness.  Our Savior Jesus Christ graciously gives it as we turn to Him.

- Can ye feel so now?  --Alma 5:26.  How do we have a lasting conversion? Elder Cook suggests two things.  Keeping our covenants and immersing ourselves in the scriptures.  I think he only mentioned the two because if we are doing those two things all of the rest will fall into place.


The song of the day is "More Holiness Give Me". I felt the Spirit so strong as we sang this song today and felt the my plea to Heavenly Father to bless me with these things. 

More holiness give me
More strivings within
More patience in suffering
More sorrow for sin,
More faith in my Savior,
More sense of His care,
More  joy in His service
More purpose in prayer

More Gratitude give me
More trust in the Lord,
More pride in His glory,
More hope in His word
More tears for His sorrows,
More pain at His grief
More meeknes s in trial,
More praise for relief.

More purity give me
More strength to o'recome,
More freedom from earth-stains,
More longing for home.
More fit for the kingdom,
More used would i be,
More blessed and holy-
More, Savior, like thee.

Text and music: Philip Paul Bliss, 1838-1876
