"Three Sisters"
by Elder Dieter F. Uchdorf
Discussion Leader: Barbara Janke
“We are responsible for our own discipleship, and it has little—if anything—to do with the way others treat us. ”
A long time ago in a distant land lived a family of three sisters:
The first sister was sad. The first sister saw herself as a victim—as someone who was acted upon. Remember who you are. You have the spiritual DNA of God.
The second sister was mad. The second sister was angry at the world. She felt that the problems in her life were all caused by someone else. “Yes,” you might say, “I would be willing to love my enemies—if only they were willing to do the same... but our love for them is independent of their feelings toward us. ”
The third sister was glad. She represents the authentic disciple of Jesus Christ. She trusted God even in the face of ridicule and hardship. Choosing this path of discipleship will lead to untold happiness and fulfillment of your divine nature.
You cannot allow circumstances to make you sad.
You cannot allow them to make you mad.
You can rejoice that you are a daughter of God. You can find joy and happiness in the grace of God and in the love of Jesus Christ. You can be glad.
Weekly Challenge: Find a way each day to practice being GLAD.
