Listening

"The attributes by which we shall be judged one day are all spiritual." --Elder Nelson, Thanks Be to God
Isn't this interesting?  Especially since the attributes we feel we are judged by in this world are all physical.  What do we look like?  Are we thin?  Are we vivacious? Is our hair just so?  We get so focused on all of it and we grieve when we feel we have failed or feel that perhaps we will never succeed.  And none of it matters!  Satan wins when he gets us to focus on the physical to the extent that we neglect the spiritual.  I need to recognize it as a trick.  I need to remember that, "The attributes by which we shall be judged one day are all spiritual.  These include love, virtue, integrity, compassion, and service to others."  Yes.  Thanks be to God that these are what really matter.
