Let Virtue Garnish All My Thoughts Unceasingly

The world today has evolved and too much waste is now in the minds of the people (not a literal waste but indeed a waste that makes you change the way you act, talk, or communicate) yes, indeed a waste in our hearts and minds. Social Media makes it possible to access things so easily, even subjects that are not meant to be posted. So, how's your thought today? How did you conquer such gross things you saw recently on some social media? One thing that I did recently was unsubscribe some pages that were not supposed to be on my list, unfriend people that I don't even know how they got my access, hide some of my profiles and pictures, and set my profile to private or let me and some selected friends just to see my post. Why did I do that? Because everything that pops up on my page is just a waste, I mean it was. Too many junks that almost kill my standards. I know some of you wouldn't understand it, I am only a simple man who lives a simple life and that's all I need. No pollution, no senseless trash talks, and living in a standard that I love. I am a God-fearing person and I love my maker, I just couldn't help blaming myself for the things that I saw and heard and the way I acted, was that I am not like this and I am not supposed to be that way.

Now I realise that, and I think it is time to let go of those things that don't even mean a lot to me. those things that don't even matter in terms of looking towards that eternal perspective. It is time to show who I am and it is time to let everyone know what I want. I start deleting all things that come to my mind, I don't know how to explain that and I don't know how you understand it, but I feel like I need to be more Christian than what God wants me to be.

I believe in that saying 'As a man thinketh so is he' and I am just what I think I am. People will change someday and will come to accept me, I will be doing the very best God wants it to be, and I think everyone will see changes in me. I will start from the very scratch again and clear everything that had in my way. I'm hoping to continue doing it.

Let Virtue Garnish All Thy Thoughts Unceasingly

This is one of the songs that I like by Sally DeFord. Since I love Music I make my credits and arrangements in some hymns. While listening to some of Sally's music, I came to see some of the lyrics of the song and I found it interesting. So I decided to download music from it and I plan to play this maybe on some occasions.

Everywhere I go;

in all, I do and say

Standing close beside me,

there to guide me day by day

Is One who knows my heart,

all my silent fears

One who hears unspoken prayers,

who shares my joy and tears

Chorus:

And in His presence I am strong

As I make His word my law

As I learn to live by every truth He teaches me

And my confidence grows sure

As I keep my spirit pure

And let virtue garnish all my thoughts unceasingly

Every test I face,

I will overcome

As the Lord upholds me

and enfolds me in His love

For He knows my needs;

He will walk with me

Comfort and protect me,

and direct me patiently

(Repeat chorus)

45 Let thy bowels also be full of charity towards all men, and to the household of faith, and let virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly; then shall thy confidence wax strong in the presence of God; and the doctrine of the priesthood shall distil upon thy soul as the dews from heaven.

46 The Holy Ghost shall be thy constant companion, and thy scepter an unchanging scepter of righteousness and truth; and thy dominion shall be an everlasting dominion, and without compulsory means it shall flow unto thee forever and ever. - The Doctrine and Covenants 121:45-46
