God wants you to find your way back to Him, and the Savior is the way. God wants you to learn of His Son, Jesus Christ, and experience the profound peace and joy that come from following the path of divine discipleship.
Christlike attributes come into our lives as we exercise our agenncy righteously.
The one help we all need is given to us freely though the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Having faith in Jesus Christ and In His Atonement means relying completely on Him-trusting in His infinite power, intelligence, and love.
Let us simplify our lives a little, let us make the changes necessary to focus on the simple, humble path of Christian discipleship.
As you take the normal opportunities of your daily life and create something of beauty and helpfulness, you improve not only the world around you but also the world within you.
The divine love of God turns ordinary acts into extraordinary service.
The Gospel of transformation is from men and women of earth to men and women of eternities.
Hope is a leg of a 3-legged stool with Faith and Charity.
The things we hope for lead us to faith, while the things we hope in lead us to charity. The three qualities faith, hope, and charity working together, grounded on the truth and light of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, lead us to abound in good works.
With Christ, darkness cannot succeed. Darkness will not gain victory over the light of Christ.
Spiritual light rarely comes to those who merely sit in the darkness waiting for someone to flick the switch.
Darkness cannot stand before the brilliant light of the Son of the Living God.
All you have to do is trust your Heavenly Father. Trust Him enough to follow His plan.
If we are only willing to open our hearts and minds to the spirit of Christmas, we will recognize wonderful things happening around us.
Your Heavenly Father knows that you will make mistakes. He knows that you will stumble-perhaps many times. This saddens Him, but He loves you. He does not wish to break your spirit. On the contrary, He desires that you rise up and become the person you were designed to be.
One of the greatest sermons ever pronounced on missionary work is this simple thought attributed to Saint Francis of Assisi: ‘Preach the gospel at all times and if necessary, use words.’ Opportunities to do so are all around us. Do not miss them by waiting too long on the road to Damascus.
The Apostle Paul in his letter to the Romans said that those who pass judgment on others are ‘inexcusable.’ The moment we judge someone else, he explained, we condemn ourselves, for none is without sin. Refusing to forgive is a grievous sin-one the Savior warned against.
Let us not give up. Let us be true to our covenants. Let us never lose sight of our Advocate and Redeemer as we walk toward Him, one imperfect step after another.
Patience is not simply enduring; it is enduring well!
Heavenly Father offers to you the greatest gift of all – eternal life – and the opportunity and infinite blessing of your own “happily ever after.”
