Nourishment

“Forgiveness plants and nourishes the seeds of Christlike love in both the giver and the receiver. Indeed, forgiveness, in its fullest expression, is synonymous with charity, the pure love of Christ.”

Roderick J. Linton
 

“Love is born and nourished in prayer.” Neil J. Flinders

“If your faith is proven and mature, choose to nurture it ‘with great care’. As strong as our faith is, with all the mixed messages attacking it, it can also become very fragile. It needs constant nourishment through continued scripture study, prayer, and the application of His word.”

Richard C. Edgley
 

"Immersion in the scriptures is essential for spiritual nourishment."

Quentin L. Cook

“I believe many of us are overnourished on entertainment junk food and undernourished on the bread of life.”

Dallin H. Oaks
 

“Just as exercise, proper nourishment, and rest are essential to our physical well-being, so are such things as regular prayer, scripture study, Sabbath worship, partaking of the sacrament,

and service to others necessary for our spiritual vigor.”

Dean L. Larsen
 

“Our spirits…require nourishment. Just as there is food for the body, there is food for the spirit. The consequences of spiritual malnutrition are just as hurtful

to our spiritual lives as physical malnutrition is to our physical bodies.”

Dallin H. Oaks
 

“True shepherds nourish and care for each member of the flock and keep them in remembrance. They do not simply number them. Shepherds know and care for their flock.

A shepherd cannot rest when even one of the flock is lost.”

Robert D. Hales
