How can the story of Paul's miraculous conversion help you love and find hope for that person? This week, pray to see others as God sees them. Ask God to help you see the inherent strengths and goodness of others.— Quotes & Links: Link to FIND HIM New Testament Study Guide:https://www.seagullbook.com/find-him-new-testament-come-follow-me-guidebook.html “The people who would not believe in Jesus believed in nothing—they said they believed in the prophets, but they did not: if they believed in the prophets, in the scriptures, in Moses, or in God, they would believe in Christ—but they do not. The greatest Christian convert was a man who believed all the wrong things about Christ—it was not what he believed, but his capacity for faith that made Saul of Tarsus eligible for immediate enlightenment.”(Hugh Nibley, “Sophic and Mantic,” CWHN 10:331-32)“It is not easy to understand all the circumstances that contribute to someone's attitude or reaction. Appearances can be deceptive and oftentimes do not represent an accurate measurement of someone's behavior. Unlike you and me, Christ is capable of clearly seeing all facets of a given situation. Even knowing all our weaknesses as He does, the Savior does not rashly condemn us but continues to work with us compassionately over time, helping us to remove the beam from our eye” (Elder Ulisses Soares, “The Savior's Abiding Compassion,” Liahona, November 2021).—Talk of Him is presented by Seagull Book and hosted by Ganel-Lyn Condie and John Fossum.

What do you see in Jesus's interactions with others in Luke 11 that can give you hope and comfort when you feel overwhelmed or paralyzed by fear, anxiety, or pain?— Quotes & Links: Link to FIND HIM New Testament Study Guide:https://www.seagullbook.com/find-him-new-testament-come-follow-me-guidebook.html “As we draw nearer to [the Savior], surrendering ourselves spiritually to His care, we will be able to take upon ourselves His yoke, which is easy, and His burden, which is light, thus finding that promised comfort and rest. Furthermore, we will receive the strength we all need to overcome the hardships, weaknesses, and sorrows of life, which are exceedingly difficult to endure without His help and healing power” (Elder Ulisses Soares, “Jesus Christ: The Caregiver of Our Soul,” Ensign, May 2021).“Even in turbulent times, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is gritty and resilient. It helps us sift through unimportant distractions. It encourages us to keep moving along the covenant path. Faith pushes through discouragement and allows us to face the future with resolve and squared shoulders. It prompts us to ask for rescue and relief as we pray to the Father in the name of His Son. And when prayerful pleas seem to go unanswered, our persistent faith in Jesus Christ produces patience, humility, and the ability to reverently utter the words “Thy will be done.” (2020–O:80, Lisa L. Harkness, Peace, Be Still)“While faith is not a perfect knowledge, it brings a deep trust in God, whose knowledge is perfect!” (Neal A. Maxwell, “Lest Ye Be Wearied and Faint in Your Minds,” Ensign, May 1991, 89.)—Talk of Him is presented by Seagull Book and hosted by Ganel-Lyn Condie and John Fossum.

Consider fasting for a day in the coming weeks while asking God to teach you more about the process of fasting itself. — Quotes & Links: Link to FIND HIM New Testament Study Guide:https://www.seagullbook.com/find-him-new-testament-come-follow-me-guidebook.html “Just as [a] magnet is unable to exercise power over a faraway metal object, as we resist temptation, it fades away and loses its power over our mind and heart and, consequently, over our actions,” (Elder Ulisses Soares, “Seek Christ in Every Thought,” Ensign, November 2020). “But with this paralyzed man, the Lord chose to give evidence to both disciple and detractor of His unique role as Savior of the world. Hearing the Savior's words, the scribes and Pharisees had begun to reason among themselves, ignorantly speaking of blasphemy while concluding that only God can forgive sin. Perceiving their thoughts, the Savior addressed them, saying: ”What reason ye in your hearts? Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?” The Savior continued, “But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, [He then turned to the paralyzed man] I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.” And he did!
