President J. Reuben Clark Jr. in 1953 said, "I believe that in his justice and mercy [God] will give us the maximum reward for our acts, give us all that he can give, and in the reverse, I believe that he will impose upon us the minimum penalty which it is possible for him to impose." This is my favorite thought this week.
I have been reflecting on how merciful the Savior is.
I love 2 Nephi 2:11 where we read..
For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither sense nor insensibility.
This is also Newton's third law of physics. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
We live in a world that is growing in wickedness you can see that just by pulling up the news. We also live in a world that is growing righteousness and majesty and glory. That light is not diminished by the dark it is magnified in the dark. We live in such a glorious time. I am grateful I have been blessed to bask in so much light. The scriptures and the words of Latter Day Prophets and Apostles are so accessible. There are people who are righteous and are doing their best to increase the light within themselves and others. What a remarkable and blessed time we live in.
