Daily Thoughts

In the D&C we read that when we are faithful, we'll be blessed with a multiplicity of blessings.  But if we are not faithful, we'll be cursed with a very sore and grievous curse. If we are found to be transgressors, we will not be able to escape the wrath of God nor the buttetings of Satan.  D&C 104:2-4, 8-9 "With promise immutable and unchangeable, that inasmuch as those whom I commanded were faithful they should be blessed with a multiplicity of blessings; But inasmuch as they were not faithful they were nigh unto cursing. Therefore, inasmuch as some of my servants have not kept the commandment, but have broken the covenant through covetousness, and with feigned words, I have cursed them with a very sore and grievous curse. Therefore, inasmuch as you are found transgressors, you cannot escape my wrath in your lives. Inasmuch as ye are cut off for transgression, ye cannot escape the buffetings of Satan until the day of redemption."

In the Old Testament we read about how merciful the Lord is to forgive sins and pardon iniquities.  He will not stay angry at us forever but will turn again and have compassion on us, casting our sins into the depths of the sea.  Micah 7:18-19 "Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.  He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea."

A verse with a thought booklet states the Golden Rule, that we should treat others the way we, ourselves, would want to be treated.  Matthew 7:12 "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."
