Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming self.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a big believer in overcoming and achieving and doing things and not feeling sorry for yourself.
To gain strength in our struggles, we must have a positive perspective of the principles in the plan of salvation. We must realize that we have a personal Savior whom we can trust and turn to in our times of need.
Christ removed self as the force in His perfect life. It was, 'Not my will, but thine be done.'
Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.
It is always our own self that we find at the end of the journey. The sooner we face that self, the better.
The overcoming of adversity and, ultimately, denying it the rite of passage, has been a constant and perpetual motive throughout my life.
I have so many things to work on, and so many ways that I fail. But that's what grace is all about. And I constantly wake up every morning trying to get better, trying to improve, trying to walk closer to God.
In the strength of the Lord we can do and endure and overcome all things.
If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.
Once you fully apprehend the vacuity of a life without struggle, you are equipped with the basic means of salvation.
