Grounded, Rooted, Established, and Settled

Neal A. Maxwell. 1926 - 2004.

Events and circumstances in the last days make it imperative for us as members of the Church to become more grounded, rooted, established, and settled.

Neal A. Maxwell

Settled in my mind that Christ is Savior of all flesh,

I look to Him alone my damaged spirit to refresh.

Established in eternity before the world was built,

His redemptive love defeats a world sunk far in guilt.

The roots of Christian testimony, watered by good deeds,

protect me from the choking tangle of the devil's weeds.

I need to be more grounded and less prone to loose designs,

to take delight more fully in the Lamb of God's guidelines.

The last days as foretold by prophets shortly will appear;

I hope to face them with God's love and not dark worldly fear!
