“Your ultimate safety in this life lies in never taking the enticing first step toward going where you should not go & doing what you should not do.”#RussellMNelson
In the story of the lost sheep, a lot of emphasis is placed on the Shepherd leaving the flock to find the lost one. It should be noted how thankful a shepherd is for the sheep he can count on to remain safely in the fold, being nourished in green pastures, while he’s away.
Too many people in this perilous world mistake shelter for confinement. They bolt into the unknown expecting thrills & liberation only to find exposure & vulerability to fatal hazards. Heed your Shepherd, little flock. He loves you enough to die for you, & he has seen it all.

“Let us once & for all establish our residence in Zion & give up the summer cottage in Babylon.” —Neal A. Maxwell

There are a growing number among us who have gone far beyond that. Some have returned from Babylon not to renounce the summer cottage but to demand dual citizenship.
Some have only seen Babylon on the horizon & desire permission to visit. Some have gone into Babylon as though to rescue & returned w/a delegation to demand negotiations w/the leadership. Some assign themselves diplomatic authority by nature of their experience in both cities.
Such citizens have mistaken moral absolutes for neutral community statutes. Some laws are Natural Law. One may as soon cause darkness & light to occupy the same space as alter a natural law to accommodate the consensus opinion.

“If from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart & with all thy soul. When thou art in tribulation, & all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days…”
“…if thou turn to the Lord thy God, & shalt be obedient unto his voice; (For the Lord thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.” (Deut. 4:29-31)
Ppl will let you down—whether innocently, selfishly, or maliciously. Forgive even those who aren’t sorry, even those you must leave in the past. They’re ppl, after all, & so are you. You will let others down. Be sorry, even if they leave you in the past. All will heal in the end.

We often share our testimonies by expressing how we feel. This is understandable—the Spirit speaks & our emotions respond. But emotions are not the testimony, they’re a physiological response to a spiritual conversation. Spirit speaks to spirit. Hearing it can be overwhelming.
It’s especially important to understand this bc God has reached out to you by the power of the Holy Ghost & touched your soul to an eternal truth. If you demote such knowledge to the status of mere emotion, the foundation of that truth will not hold when challenges arise.
When you hear people testify that they *know* a book is truth, they *know* a certain man is a prophet, they *know* that Christ lives—this did not emerge from an abundance of nice feelings. Only God can cause one to know the unknowable. Once one does, there is no unknowing it.

“The multitude of the earth was gathered together in a large & spacious building, & the angel of the Lord spake unto me again, saying: Behold the world & the wisdom thereof; yea, behold the house of Israel hath gathered together to fight against the 12 apostles of the Lamb...”
“…& it came to pass that I saw & bear record, that the great & spacious building was the pride of the world; & it fell, & the fall thereof was exceedingly great…”
“And the angel of the Lord spake unto me again, saying: Thus shall be the destruction of all nations, kindreds, tongues, & people, that shall fight against the twelve apostles of the Lamb.” (1 Nep. 11:35-36)

“I believe in the sun even when it’s not shining
I believe in love even when I feel it not
I believe in God even when He is silent.”

To the YSAs from me: True love exists. It’s what you decide to create w/the person of your choosing. Your soulmate exists. It’s the person w/whom you decide to bond souls. Sweet emotions are a product of healthy, selfless relating. They are not a moral compass. You decide.
There are many ppl that cld be a good soulmate for you. Sounds terribly unromantic, yes? On the contrary—by retaining your ability to choose, by considering your partnership a matter of self-creation & not mere incident, you can exponentially improve its quality. Love is a verb.
While we may not consciously decide the chemistry set upon us by the “natural man,” we certainly can decide everything that happens thereafter. If one whom we have developed emotions for turns us in the wrong direction, we can (& must) choose to override the natural man.
