yes, I keep fighting it. Yes, I keep feeling it. Yes, I keep figting... and so it's the cycle.

Here's a couple of things I found today that reall hit me:

Ephesians 4: 18, 31-32

"...I have found that security can come to Israel only when they keep the commandments, when they live so that they can enjoy the companionship, the direction, the comfort and the guidance of the Holy Spirit of the Lord, when they are willing to listen to these mend whom God has set here to preside as His mouthpieces, and when we obey the counsels of the Church" (Harold B. Lee)

"Even 'charity suffereth long' requires our thoughtful interpretation. The 'suffering' that may come from loving is the result of our great caring. It comes because another matters to us so much.
"To avoid that kind of suffering, we would have to avoid what gives us life and hope and joy - our capacity to love deeply. As an antidote against the suffering that will surely come as we have loved ones dies, or see them struggle or be misled, or have them misunderstand us or even betray us, we can find relief in charity to others" ("Charity Suffereth Long", Aileen H. Clyde, Ensign, Nov 1991)

Love, Marie
