THE ESSENTIAL THINGS

THIS IS MY NEW FAVORTE QUOTE IT JUST STICK OUT TO ME AND IS CALLING ME TO REPENTANCE EVERYDAY ! I THINK WE ALL DO THIS WE LET OURSELVES GET DISTRACTED BY THINGS EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT ANYTHING BAD ! I KNOW THAT SATIN DOES DO THIS THATS HOW HE WORKS HE TAKES SMALL LITTLE STEPS TO DRAG US DOWN SLOWLY THATS HOW HE DOES ACTULLY GET SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF HEAVENLY FATHER IN HIS HANDS LETS STAY STRONG AND STAY FOCUSED ON THE SPIRTUAL THINGS WE NEED DAILY AND NOT LET OURSELVES FALL INTO STAINS TRAPS !

Are there so many fascinating, exciting things to do, or so many challenges pressing upon you, that it is hard to keep focused on that which is essential? When things of the world crowd in, all too often the wrong things are allowed to take highest priority. Then it is easy to forget the fundamental purpose of life. Satan has a powerful tool to use against good people, those who are committed to a worthy, righteous life, who want to do good and intend to make the most of this life. His tool is distraction. He has an extensive array of undeniably good things that are used to keep us from doing the essential ones. Have you noticed that when you begin to focus on something truly important, something of eternal significance, there often come thoughts of other good things to distract you? Satan promotes distraction. He would have good people fill life with 'good things' so that there is no room for the 'essential ones.' Have you unconsciously been caught in that trap? —Elder Richard G. Scott, Finding Peace, Happiness, and Joy, page 10—
