I pray that we will not wait until we are ready to die before we truly learn to live.
Never give in, never surrender, Never allow despair to overcome your spirit.
You are to do the choosing here and now during this exciting and wonderful time on earth. Moral agency, the freedom to choose, is certainly one of God’s greatest gifts next to life itself. We have the honorable right to choose; therefore, we need to choose the right. This is not always easy.
Allow Christ’s Atonement to change and heal your heart.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is good news, glad tidings, and much more. It is the message of salvation as repeatedly announced by Jesus Christ and His apostles and prophets. It is my firm belief that all truth and light originating with God is embraced in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Let us prepare for that blessed day when He will come again. Let us be as wise as those ancients who watched for His coming.
The Savior can wipe away our tears of regret.
The immensity of the universe didn’t suddenly change, but our ability to see and understand this truth changed dramatically. And with that greater light, mankind was introduced to glorious vistas we had never before imagined.
We can choose to be like the Mormon pioneers, who maintained a spirit of gratitude during their slow and painful trek toward the Great Salt Lake, even singing and dancing and glorying in the goodness of God.
As we turn to our Heavenly Father and seek His wisdom regarding the things that matter most, we learn over and over again the importance of four key relationships: with our God, with our families, with our fellowman, and with ourselves.
Try and keep on trying until that which seems difficult becomes possible and that which seems only possible becomes habit and a real part of you.
From the pioneers we can learn to have faith and trust God; we can learn to be compassionate to others; we can learn that work and industry not only bless us temporally but spiritually; and that happiness is available to us no matter our circumstances.
Now is the best time to start becoming the person we eventually want to be – not only 20 years from now but also for all eternity.
The more you trust and rely upon the Spirit, the greater your capacity to create.
If life and its rushed pace and many stresses have made it difficult for you to feel like rejoicing, then perhaps now is a good time to refocus on what matters most.
No one likes to fail. But we mortals do not become champions without effort and discipline or without making mistakes.
It is said that any virtue when taken to an extreme can become a vice. Overscheduling our days would certainly qualify for this. There comes a point where milestones can become millstones and ambitions, albatrosses around our necks.
How much of life do we miss by waiting to see the rainbow before thanking God there is rain?
Life has a way of testing our anchors and tempting us to drift. Nevertheless, if our anchors are correctly placed in the rock of our Redeemer, they will hold – no matter the force of the wind, the strength of the tide, or the height of the waves.
Faith is such a principle of power. God works by power, but this power is usually exercised in response to our faith.
