Do not become discouraged by the discovery that you are human. Human nature may tend toward evil, but it is not inherently sinful. Be not downcast by your failure wholly to forget some of your regrettable experiences. The mistakes which you fail to forget in time will be forgotten in eternity. Lighten your burdens of soul by speedily acquiring a long-distance view of your destiny, a universe expansion of your career.
Make not the mistake of estimating the soul's worth by the imperfections of the mind or by the appetites of the body. Judge not the soul nor evaluate its destiny by the standard of a single unfortunate human episode. Your spiritual destiny is conditioned only by your spiritual longings and purposes.
Religion is the exclusively spiritual experience of the evolving immortal soul of the God-knowing man, but moral power and spiritual energy are mighty forces which may be utilized in dealing with difficult social situations and in solving intricate economic problems. These moral and spiritual endowments make all levels of human living richer and more meaningful.
Hi Nelson, What we fail to grasp through the writings in the Paper's; Jesus just as he was while on earth except for the garment of flesh; will with the assistance of the Father of Love and his Host of Heaven teach you from these active inner spirit endowments. Often we can come to a fuller understanding by living the revelation but simply lack the required language skills to express them.
99:5.9 Future religionists must live out their religion, dedicate themselves to the wholehearted service of the brotherhood of man. It is high time that man had a religious experience so personal and so sublime that it could be realized and expressed only by "feelings that lie too deep for words."
It is the increased bearing of the Fruits of The Spirit as we demonstrate our Religion as did Jesus that draws all men, women and children to Jesus and provides the adventure of gaining wisdom experience through the fellowship of believers in HIM.
Very nice teaching papa Paul. We should not be discouraged by the fact that we are humans because there's a spirit nucleus in the mind of man (196:3.2) and human evolution is still in progress (196:3.33). We always meet several challenges as we are finite, mortal men, we may sometimes fail to grasp the full meaning of gospel, but what we have to do is being patient and continue with our progressive experience of becoming perfect, even as our father in paradise is perfect (181:2.25)
