They all hold scriptures or sayings that remind me of who I am and what my life is all about.
Romans 8:18
The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Everything you're going through, all of these trials and tribulations and sorrows..they're going to end. And when they end you will see that you had to suffer so that you could be refined and shine even brighter. There is glory in all of us. We are meant for something great. Once you make it through these hardships you will see what beauty it has wrought in your life.
Genesis 19:17
Look not behind thee.
Stop looking at the past. The past is the past is the past. You can't bring it back. You can't change it. There is no time in the present to worry about the past. Don't think about what you should have done, what you miss, how things happened, the regrets you have..that will not help you. Stop looking at the person you were and turn to the person you can and will become.
Joshua 3:5
Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.
Get ready. Something great is coming for you. The Lord is going to work wonders with your life. That will be marvelous but you need to be prepared for it. Be pure and good enough that the Lord can use you as a vessel for his miracles. You will do great things through Him, wonders.
Doctrine and Covenants 25:10
Lay aside the things of the world and seek for things of a better.
The world pursues so many worthless things, it's unbelievable. It's so easy to fall into that pattern of seeking worldly lusts and desires. They definitely appeal to the natural man inside of us..but if we lay them aside.. if we look with an eternal perspective at what is really important in life we can see that they weren't worth it at all. There are better things to spend our lives, and our eternities, working for. It's time to lay those worldly pursuits aside and focus on our eternal pursuits.
