This post is part of the General Conference Odyssey. This week covers the Sunday Afternoon Session of the October 2014 Conference.
As you dedicate time every day, personally and with your family, to the study of God’s word, peace will prevail in your life. That peace won’t come from the outside world. It will come from within your home, from within your family, from within your own heart. It will be a gift of the Spirit. It will radiate out from you to influence others in the world around you. You will be doing something very significant to add to the cumulative peace in the world.
I love this, and I needed to hear it! It's so often that I don't feel like I'm adding anything of value to the world in spite of my efforts to do just that. It's good to remember that the greatest good I can do doesn't really come from me, but the Spirit of peace working through me, and so the best work I can do is to find ways to be closer to that Spirit.
