Faith

"In the acquisition of faith, evidence stimulates desire, desire brings forth hope, and hope matures into faith, which is a principle of action and power."

- Principles of Perfection, by Hyrum Andrus

This is a great quote about faith and knowledge. Faith will bring knowledge which brings forth action and power. Once you receive the knowledge from your faith you will mover forward with your new knowledge toward an action. You will move forward because you will know that your knowledge came from God because of the exercising of your faith.

Principles of Perfection is a very interesting book that dives deep into some spiritual ideas and actions. It is definitely worth the read.

We can with confidence set a goal to make this Christmas brighter than the last and each year that follows brighter still. The trials of mortality may increase in intensity, yet for us, darkness need not increase if we focus our eyes more singly on the light that streams down on us as we follow the Master. He will lead us and help us along the path that leads upward to the home for which we yearn.

-President Henry B. Eyring

I like how this quote states that darkness does not need to increase in our lives even though our trials may. It shows that we have the power to become more than we are. We hold the power, and through our agency we can become stronger and closer to God. The Christmas season is a perfect time to start. With all the caring people around each of us it only takes one kind act to start down the path of light and service. I am grateful to all of those people out there that have provided service to me. Thank you, and have a Merry Christmas.
