quote:
“The purpose of this and every general conference is to help us to hear Him. We have prayed, and invite you to pray, that the Spirit of the Lord will be with us in such rich abundance that you can hear the messages that the Savior has especially for you–messages that will bring peace to your soul. Messages that will heal your broken heart. Messages that will illuminate your mind. Messages that will help you know what to do as you move ahead through times of turmoil and trial.”
-President Russell M. Nelson (Opening Message, Apr. 2020)
invitation:
As you watch conference in just a few more days, choose to reflect on your progress. As we listen, we catch a vision of who we are and how we are doing.
Notice the nature of feelings that come. Some settle as a certain knowing that you’re doing your part. Warm feelings of peace and confirmation well up inside for the things we are doing well. “Yes, I am doing this.”
Others come with a spark of hope. “I’m not doing this–yet. But I can. And I will.”
These feelings rise like a rushing wave of encouragement to a heart that is trying its very best. Refreshment can come in the form of praise as well as promptings to reach a little higher and live your true potential.
Today, take this Christlike Attribute Activity and reflect on where you are. Then listen for talks in general conference that mention an attribute you’d like to improve in your life. Take notes of any impressions that come.
