“Mormonism keeps men & women young & handsome. When they are full of the Spirit of God, there are none of them but what will have a glow upon their countenance. That is what makes you & me young, for the spirit of God is with us & within us.” #BrighamYoung #RussellMNelson #age95
Have you ever met someone who was not beautiful by worldly standards, but their spirit & personality were so bright that you couldn’t wait to see them again? I have. I’ve also known ppl who were born w/ worldly beauty whose inner darkness could suck the air out of a room...
Physical senses are easily deceived & make terrible discerners of beauty, goodness, & truth. How important that we learn the lessons of spiritual discernment, self-mastery, & heeding the Holy Ghost.
Sharpened spiritual discernment helps us find angels & avoid devils. No Hollywood stylist on earth can cover a dark soul. No broken body can hide a bright spirit. Can you tell the difference? How different might you “look” had you made different choices?
There’s always room for improvement. Strengthening spiritual control over our physical bodies serves ourselves & others. It makes us vessels worthy to bear the Lord’s living water to his children. It nourishes our families & magnifies our service. It’s how to #LightTheWorld .
