One's own knowledge and understanding of truth are always evolving. This blog seems to have morphed mainly into a collection of scriptural thoughts and insights, mostly for the purpose of personal exploration. I believe that we can "know" spiritual truths. I also believe that the scriptures can be a gateway to that knowledge.

Belonging to God

President Spencer W. Kimball

"Each member of the Church has a sacred spiritual or temporal trust for which there is accountability. Because all things belong to the Lord, we are held responsible for how we lead our families and use our bodies, minds, and properties. (See D&C 104:11–15.) A faithful servant is one who exercises righteous dominion, cares for his own, and looks to the poor and needy."(See D&C 104:15–18.)   

 Spencer W. Kimball - AUGUST 1984 “AND THE LORD CALLED HIS PEOPLE ZION”
The idea that we belong to God is a foreign and even strange concept in our current "me and mine" society.  Think of the immediate humility that descends upon a soul who acknowledges that all he has and is, including his mind and body, belong to the Creator.  There is a whole string of virtues that accompany that recognition: unselfishness, compassion, teachability, meekness, and gratitude, to name a few.
