He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: Psalm 91:4
|
"Each of us will taste the bitter ashes of life,
from sin and neglect to sorrow and disappointment.
But the atonement of Christ can lift us up in beauty from our ashes
on the wings of a sure promise of immortality and eternal life.
He will thus lift us up, not only at the end of life, but in each day of our lives."
Bruce C. Hafen
Christlike attributes are the basics.
They are the fundamental principles that will create
"the wind beneath our wings."
As we develop Christlike attributes in our own lives,
step-by-step, they will "bear us up as on eagles' wings".
Our faith in Jesus Christ will provide power and a strong forward thrust;
our unwavering and active hope will provide a powerful upward lift.
Both faith and hope will carry us across oceans of temptations,
Of this I testify in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
