wonderful words

I remember being so impressed with the talks by the new General RSP and copied a couple of paragraphs.  I enjoyed them then and still do and just wanted to share.  There is such good counsel here.  Enjoy!

While cleaning out a drawer in her bedroom, (Sister Eubank-1st counselor in Gen RSP),
found a note written during a 2011 Relief Society board meeting with former Relief Society general president Sister Julie B. Beck.

The paper read: "When you are with people, remember they are each filled with troubles. Lift them to a higher plane. … Remember to keep your own kingdom intact. … When you can’t give more, ... (then) call on the Holy Ghost and angels to come to you. Be still and get full.”

From that message Sister Eubank found the answer to her three problems. “It came from Relief Society and it was about Relief Society,” she said.

Brother Callister said that because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, the Savior’s powers are infinite. “There is no rejection, no loneliness, no despair, no sin and no condition to which we can sink for which the Savior’s healing powers do not have the perfect remedy. Sometimes that remedy will include seeking appropriate medical and emotional care, for the Lord expects us to do all within our power to assist in the healing process, but the ultimate healing balm will be found in His atoning powers.”

Joseph Smith told the Relief Society in 1842 that because they were now organized after a priesthood pattern “you are now placed in a situation where you can act according to those sympathies which God has planted in your [hearts]. … If you live up to your privilege, the angels cannot be restrained from being your associates.”
