so today for our combined priesthood relief society we talked about how our eyes can be changed and altered by the devil. how he can create spots in our eyes that can impede the light of Christ to enter. or scope and perceptions can be altered so very easily. for instants we can be so consumed with helping out our family and ourselves we neglect others around us. by so doing that we forget others that we could help and vice versa. its easy to be blinded and fall into a dark spots in our lives with out acknowledging the light of Christ. there are many occurrences of this in the Book of Mormon and the Bible. where the good turn the bad into worse. or when the a nephite turns and leads the lamanites into a revolt. just that little bit of a spot in your eye can lead to you only seeing the blackness. i had heard this simile before. andrew birds cataracts
And they shall enter from the back
With spears and scepters and squirming sacks
Scribs and tangles between their ears
Faceless scrumbled charcoal smears
Through the coppice and the chaparral
The thickets thick with mold
The bracken and the brier
Catchweed into the fold
When our mouths are filled with uninvited tongues of others
And the strays are pining for their unrequited mothers
Milk that sours is promptly spat
Light will fill our eyes like cats
Light will fill our eyes like cats
Cataracts
all the evil things that try to or enter my life always sneak up from behind and rear the ugliest of faces. spears and scepters in hand. coppice and the chaparral is the road blacks that the devil has entered in front of your path. and then he will try to speak for you with his own thoughts and you will feel like a stray cat and as you taste the evil, hardships, and ugliness that can enter your life it will be spat. light disappears behind the cataracts.
