More quotes by Marvin J. Ashton
Blessed is he or she who avoids being offended.
Marvin J. Ashton
Lying damages others. Lying subtly permits us to destroy ourselves as we are caught in the snare and shatter our own self-image and credibility. Freedom from deceit and lying improves self and gives all of us peace of mind.
Marvin J. Ashton
Satan is ever present, trying to destroy our glory and remove our crown. One of his most powerful tools is discouragement. Don't let your discouragement make Satan rejoice.
Marvin J. Ashton
The practice of thrift is not outdated. We must discipline ourselves to live within our incomes even if it means going without or making do. The wise person can distinguish...between basic needs and extravagant wants. Some find budgeting extremely painful, but I promise you, it is never fatal.
Marvin J. Ashton
God's love for us is constant and will not diminish, but he cannot rescue us from the painful results that are caused by wrong choices.
Marvin J. Ashton
When a mother asked her small child how he fell out of bed, he answered, Because I wasn't in far enough. Let me just say in passing that it has been my experience that most people who fall out of the Church do so because they were not in far enough.
Marvin J. Ashton
Where you have been is not nearly as important as where you are and where you're going.
Marvin J. Ashton
Love should be a vehicle allowed to travel without limitations.
Marvin J. Ashton
The world is filled with too many of us who are inclined to indicate our love with an announcement or declaration. True love is a process. True love requires personal action. Love must be continuing to be real. Love takes time.
Marvin J. Ashton
Commitment is a word that cannot stand alone. We must always ask, Committed to what? . . . . let us be committed to . . . using Jesus Christ as our master teacher.
Marvin J. Ashton
God has given each of us one or more special talents....It is up to each of us to search for and build upon the gifts which God has given.
Marvin J. Ashton
True love is a process. True love requires personal action.
Marvin J. Ashton
Do not doubt your abilities. Do not delay your worthy impressions. With God's help, you cannot fail. He will give you the courage to participate in meaningful change and purposeful living.
Marvin J. Ashton
Worthiness is a process, and perfection is an eternal trek. We can be worthy to enjoy certain privileges without being perfect.
Marvin J. Ashton
The discerning realize that it is not realistic to expect perfection in others when none of us is perfect...Meaningful progress can be made only when all of us can cast the motes out of our own eyes, leave judgment to our Father in Heaven, and lose ourselves in righteous living.
Marvin J. Ashton
Be the one who nurtures and builds. Be the one who has an understanding and a forgiving heart one who looks for the best in people. Leave people better than you found them.
Marvin J. Ashton
How often have we ourselves said or have heard others exclaim in times of crisis or trouble, 'I just don't know where to turn'? If we will just use it, there is a gift available to all of us-the gift of looking to God for direction. Here is an avenue of strength, comfort, and guidance.
Marvin J. Ashton
It is up to each of us to search for and build upon the gifts which God has given. We must remember that each of us is made in the image of God, that there are no unimportant persons. Everyone matters to God and to his fellowmen.
Marvin J. Ashton
The gospel is one of harmony, unity, and agreement. It must be presented in love, and with glad tidings, by those who are calm.
Marvin J. Ashton
Peace-not passion, not personal possessions, not personal accomplishments nor happiness-is one of the greatest blessings a man can receive.
