"The Love of God"
Elder D. Todd Christofferson
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland observed, "Jesus clearly understood what many in our modern culture seem to forget: that there is a crucial difference between the commandment to forgive sin and the warning against condoning it."
Despite our present imperfections, however, we can still hope to attain "a name and standing," a place, in HIs Church and in the celestial world. After making it clear that He cannot excuse or wink at sin, the Lord assures us:
"Nevertheless, he that repents and does the commandments of the Lord shall be forgiven."
"And as often as my people repent will I forgive them their trespasses against me."
Repentance and divine grace resolve the dilemma:
Prayer Day 2
To walk as He did, to learn how to best fill my days with His work and service of love.
Up at 4:37 a.m. I changed my schedule today so I could get started early on the kitchen floor. I made quite a mess with the stripper. I used a spatula to scrape the former wax off the floor. It's back breaking, tedious, slow work. I did my 20/20 routine. Work 20 minutes, watch a show 20 minutes. This morning I watched "Baby in a Manger." I really liked it.
Around lunch time I had some enchiladas and took a nap. James was at the dining room table working on a bid.
I am tired and discouraged because it is taking so long to do the kitchen floor. I wanted to do the hallway too but it was late and I wasn't feelin' it. I threw away some of the snack food I had been bingeing on. I watched another movie, "Our Christmas Journey" starring Holly Robinson Peete. This evening I did the 20/20 routine again, this time walking and blogging. I took a shower and was in bed by 9:40.
James and I are reading a new book together, "No Way Out."
I wrote a thank you note to Lois and Dawn today and a note to Ruth Gale letting her know I wanted to go to the temple and out to eat with her once a month.
James told me he loved me after we got in bed tonight.
