Aloha Kahalu'u Ward,
I have recently been drawn to the promise of peace that comes from the gospel. Not in the sense of nation versus nation, but individual peace of spirit, heart, soul that overpowers all of the noise, chaos and sorrow of the world outside, within the home or wherever it comes from.
Elder Quentin Cook’s talk in this past general conference “Personal Peace in Challenging Times” gives us some ideas and guidelines for helping to bring greater peace into ourselves.
He teaches:
“First: Love God, Live His Commandments, and Forgive Everyone
Second: Seek the Fruits of the Spirit. Among those that qualify us are the fruits of the Spirit: “love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, [and] temperance.” Paul also includes bearing one another’s burdens and being not weary in well-doing.
Third: Exercise Agency to Choose Righteousness
Fourth: Build Zion in Our Hearts and Homes
Fifth: Follow the Current Admonitions of Our Prophet”
He closes by quoting President Nelson, “He has taught us that we can “feel enduring peace and joy, even during turbulent times,” as we strive to become more like our Savior, Jesus Christ.” Give it a read, and strive for greater peace.
Aloha, Kaihaku Chun
