Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.”

Humility: If Our Heart is Right

“If our heart is right, we will be free from the excesses and risks of being either too demanding or not demanding enough with ourselves. The greater our willingness to be humble about our errors and inadequacies, the less we will be likely to repeat them and the more we will learn from our experience. As this attitude draws us closer to God, our confidence in his presence will grow, as will our assurance that we do not seek his face in vain. We might then make the same discovery as did a righteous group of Book of Mormon people: ‘Nevertheless they did fast and pray oft, and did wax stronger and stronger in their humility, and firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ, unto the filling their souls with joy and consolation, yea even to the purifying and the sanctification of their hearts, which sanctification cometh because of their yielding their hearts unto God’ (Helaman 3:35).”

This is a paragraph in a book I am reading called “The Broken Heart: Applying the Atonement to Life’s Experiences”. It was written by Bruce C. Hafen and is a wonderful book. I encourage all to read it.

This book has given me a new outlook on personal life. Every time I read it and ask myself how I can do better. I hope y’all will enjoy it as much as I do.

When I read this quote, which is basically the summary of one of the chapters in the book, I set a higher standard for myself to continually strive to be more humble before God. I know that as I do this I will find a strength added upon myself so that I can overcome the weaknesses that I have.
