Voice of the Spirit

 This is a video with the voice of James E. Faust as he spoke in June 2006. You can find the full text here.

My thoughts about this video:
I love the way this was put together. It really hits home for me. The longer I live, the more I see how much junk there is out in the world to get caught up in. Part of life is learning to sift and sort through the different distractions that come our way, and to find out what is truly meaningful.
I know that there is a voice that will guide us to every good thing. It will lead us to the things that really matter. It will lead us to find true joy in this life, and forever.
A quote from Lawrence Corbridge came to mind as I watched this video.
"Nothing in this life is of greater worth than the supernal gift of the Holy Ghost. It is the source of joy, peace, knowledge, strength, love, and every other good thing. With the Atonement, it is the power by which we may be changed and made strong where we are weak. With the priesthood, it is the power by which marriages and families are sealed together eternally. It is the power by which the Lord makes Himself manifest unto those who believe in Him. Every good thing depends on getting and keeping the power of the Holy Ghost in our lives. Everything depends on that.
To that end, Jesus Christ entered a garden called Gethsemane, where He overcame sin for us. He took upon Himself our sins. He suffered the penalty of our wrongs. He paid the price of our education. I don’t know how He did what He did. I only know that He did and that because He did, you and I may be forgiven of our sins that we may be endowed with His power. Everything depends on that. What then shall we do? We will “take upon [us] the name of [the] Son, and always remember him and keep his commandments which he has given [us]; that [we] may always have his Spirit to be with [us].”  Everything depends on that."
