Today is election day and I spent all day working at the polls. I am really exhausted.
The scriptures I read tonight are D&C 121:37-46 and I couldn't help but think that this is the perfect ideal of how a true leader should maintain their position (verse 41-42): "by persuasion, long-suffering, gentleness, meekness, and by love unfeigned. By kindness, and pure knowledge, ... without hypocrisy and without guile." Especially within the leadership of the church, this is the standard that I expect from my leaders (and myself.) It is comforting to know the Lord agrees and emphasizes that the Priesthood itself is no reason why a man should maintain a position of power or influence.
