July Presidency Message

Life and the Cataract

Cataracts build up on ones eyes slowly and over time. You don't even realize that they are happening. They just slowly cloud your vision and you don't even realize that it is happening. Life can be like this with the gospel sonetimes, slowly you don't realize that you haven't studied your scriptures or maybe or let the children play with the neighbors on the sabbath day. Layer upon layer of fuzzy decisions, blurred vision, and the light of the gospel in our life dimmed. Thankfully, clear, focused vision and the light of the gospel can all be restored. In the humn, "Choose the Right," we are told, "in the right the Holy Spirit guides, and its light is every shining o'er you." In Isaiah 60:19 we told, "but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light." As we strive to keep the light in our life, "Choose the Right.! God will bless you ever more."
