I like hearing everyone's perspective on these topics, because it prompts me to ponder the important parts of life and enriches my own understanding.<br /><br />I find, the simplest way for me to fight spiritual complacency is to focus on the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost and to treat Him as a wonderful friend. If we are close to the Holy Ghost the way we ought to be, then we never need worry that we are not learning something we should. He will be there to teach us what we need to know. He will be there to help understand what knowledge we must acquire. He will let us know when to forget an academic study of our faith and focus on the relationships around us. He will tell us when to hone our study on particular doctrine. He is our wonderful Guide who never leaves us, if we continually seek after Him. He wants us to feel close to our Father and wants us to come unto our Savior. <br /><br />"For behold, again I say unto you that if ye will enter in by the way, and receive the Holy Ghost, it will ashow unto you all things what ye should do." - 2 Nephi 32:5<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12842624678803974631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2123103253430482968.post-32723645548436090022013-08-20T07:45:23.019-07:002013-08-20T07:45:23.019-07:00I've found that trials and challenges often ca...I've found that trials and challenges often cause me to re-examine those principles and truths that I have accepted more passively or complacently in the past. It's a scary thing to begin to question truths that I've always been so sure of, but I've found when I cling to my testimony - my desire to believe - and I continue to seek for understanding, ultimately my faith is enlarged and deepened.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03338949204492816733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2123103253430482968.post-65548211235808927442013-08-19T21:19:14.624-07:002013-08-19T21:19:14.624-07:00Thanks so much for the reminder.

Your expression of that was beautiful.

Work/ Service without being paired with a quest for knowledge does not lead to understanding and wisdom. Our soul is a combination of mind and body--both sides of our natures must be nurtured and balanced to grow into spiritual maturity.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11366791601591937165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2123103253430482968.post-69722268230615351072013-08-19T20:01:07.660-07:002013-08-19T20:01:07.660-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11366791601591937165noreply@blogger.com
