Doctrine and Covenants 20:22 "He suffered
temptations but gave no heed unto them"
So much will depend, Brothers and Sisters, upon your
developing and using righteous reflexes. Reprocessing the same temptation,
again and again, is unnecessary and unwise.
Of Jesus we read, "He suffered temptations but gave no heed unto
them." (
D&C 20:22.) We cannot
become like Jesus, attribute by attribute, if we display hesitancy as to our
purity, or if we are undiscerning between joy and pleasure. Lust is no more
like love than itching is to joy, or talkativeness to wisdom, or indulgence to
compassion, or passivity to patience. (Neal A. Maxwell,
Ensign, Feb. 1986,
p. 19.)
