| QUOTE |
I would say where is your faith? |
As in King Benjamin's discourse there are times I have not completely yielded to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and I still haven't completely put off the natural man and and I am still working to fully become a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord.
My faith is that I can do this through the merits and mercy of my savior. My faith is that he can fully save, and fully redeem me. But I am sufficiently knowledgeable of my own pride and shortcomings to know that I am subject to falling from grace. I have faith in my Savior, but I do not have faith in myself.

I have a growing faith in the works and grace of may Savior, but I have little faith in my own abilities and a justifiable fear that if I do not watch my thoughts and deeds that I can indeed fall from grace.
I do not have the ability to see in others how their eternal journeys are progressing, but it is nice to see when the light of Christ can be seen in another's eyes.
I appreciate these discussions that we have, as they have been a boost to my own faith and testimony. Thanks
