Our Heart's Condition

Last week we had General Conference. This talk was in the Priesthood session and as I read it, I just LOVED all the insight it gave. Here are a few of my favourite words from it.
You can listen or read the whole talk by Clicking here - On Being Genuine by Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf

 "  if Jesus Christ were to sit down with us and ask for an accounting of our stewardship, I am not sure He would focus much on programs and statistics. What the Savior would want to know is the condition of our heart. He would want to know how we love and minister to those in our care, how we show our love to our spouse and family, and how we lighten their daily load. And the Savior would want to know how you and I grow closer to Him and to our Heavenly Father.  "
...
"  The Church is not an automobile showroom—a place to put ourselves on display so that others can admire our spirituality, capacity, or prosperity. It is more like a service center, where vehicles in need of repair come for maintenance and rehabilitation.
And are we not, all of us, in need of repair, maintenance, and rehabilitation?
We come to church not to hide our problems but to heal them.  "
...
"  Remember, brethren, “God resist[s] the proud, but give[s] grace unto the humble.”14    "


Heaven's slice is sincerely getting to know 'the condition of our heart.'
