Devon - Week 88 - Gave talk

As I have been studying the life of Jesus Christ through the Book, “Jesus the Christ” I have seen many new insights.  Recently, my eyes are opening up to the importance of humility and how much pride can be a stumbling block.  I understand more what the scripture mean by they that have ears hear not and those with eyes see not.  People that have strong pride literally can’t hear you, they hear the words but don't understand them.  They don't see the things you see.  They are so single minded that they miss the mark.  Pride limits are ability to repent, improve, and come closer to God.  We as humans all have our prideful moments here and there and I am Glad that God has helped me through mine and I will need his help in the future, that is something that I am positive about.

This last week I gave a talk to the Vienna Woods Ward about missionary work.  The focus of the talk was about being better missionaries.  D&C: 4.  The only qualification Christ has set is to have Faith, Hope, Charity, and with an Eye singled to the Glory of God.  The first step and the foundation of missionary work is desire to serve God.
