Day 5 - The Fruits of Your Labors


Do not be discouraged. Be longsuffering, joyous and of good cheer.

Do I have the spirit of love, joy, peace and longsuffering? They shall know you by your desires and works.

Alma 36:25
25 - Yea, and now behold, O my son, the Lord doth give me exceedingly great joy in the fruitof my labors;

Galations 5:22
22 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,23 - Meekness, temperance; against such there is no law

Proverbs 8:19
19 - My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver

1 Nephi 8:10
10 - And it came to pass that I beheld a tree, whose fruit was desirable to make one happy.

1 Nephi 11:21-22
21 - And the angel said unto me: Behold the Lamb of God, yea, even the Son of the Eternal Father! Knowest thou the meaning of the tree which thy father saw?22 - And I answered him, saying: Yea, it is the love of God, which shedddeth itself abroad in the hearts of the children of men; wherefore, it is the most desirable above all things.

D&C 18:38
38 - And by their desires and their works you shall know them.

Heber J. Grant's Testimony

I know that God lives, I know that Jesus is the Christ, I know that Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God, I know that the Gospel tree is alive, that it is growing, that the fruits of the Gospel growing upon the tree are good. I have reached out my hand, and have plucked the fruits of the Gospel, I have eaten of them and they are sweet, yea, above all that is sweet. That is the inspiration that comes to every Latter-day Saint who realizes the force of this Gospel that we have espoused. It is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the plan of life and salvation. God lives; Jesus is the Christ, and He is the chief corner stone of this great work He is directing it, and He will continue to direct it.

Heber J. Grant
