ease
EASE, n. s as z. [L. otium.]Scriptures:
Mosiah 21:15
And now the Lord was slow to hear their cry because of their iniquities; nevertheless the Lord did hear their cries, and began to soften the hearts of the Lamanites that they began to ease their burdens; yet the Lord did not see fit to deliver them out of bondage.Alma 39:17
And now I will ease your mind somewhat on this subject. Behold, you marvel why these things should be known so long beforehand. Behold, I say unto you, is not a soul at this time as precious unto God as a soul will be at the time of his coming?Mosiah 24:15
And now it came to pass that the burdens which were laid upon Alma and his brethren were made light; yea, the Lord did strengthen them that they could bear up their burdens with ease, and they did submit cheerfully and with patience to all the will of the Lord.Amos 6:
AmosChapter 6Woe to them who are at ease in Zion—Israel will be plagued with desolation.Quotes:
.
He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.~Benjamin Franklin
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
~ Hellen Keller
Try to be like the turtle - at ease in your own shell.
~Bill Copeland
My personal definition:
I think Ease has two different meanings. One I think means lazy, like you are to much at ease, so much as not to care about others. And the other meaning I think is deep peace. Like a relaxed sense, like it said "They were at ease because He lifted their burdens."
So there's this Ease: lazy, not caring of others and not doing anything, couch potato.
And there's this Ease: peace, relaxed, burdens lifted, free, content.
I know that we can have both ease, but lets not be the lazy kind, lets be the serving kind, and we will still be at ease if we are serving, because He can ease our burdens. An there is a deep peace and Ease that comes with serving and doing His will. :)
