The deepest regret of yesterday can be made right by following the Savior today.
Happiness doesn’t come from external circumstances. It comes from the inside-regardless of what is happening around us.
God loves us deeply, perfectly, and everlastlingly.
Keeping the commandments is not a burden, but a joyous rehearsal for the eternity.
Heavenly Father’s interest in you does not depend on how rich or beautiful or healthy or smart you are. He sees you not as the world sees you; He sees who you really are. He looks on your heart. And He loves you because you are His child.
God offers to His children the promise of a glorious and infinite existence and has provided a way for us to progress in knowledge and glory until we receive a fulness of joy. He has promised us all that He has.
Don’t get discouraged if you stumble at times. The first step to walking in righteousness is simply to try.
Let us resolve to be happy regardless of our circumstance.
If the Savior were among us today, we would find Him where He always was-ministering to the meek, the downcast, the humble, the distressed, and the poor in spirit. During this Christmas season and always, may we give to Him by loving as He loves.
Patience is a purifying process that refines understanding, deepens happiness, focuses action, and offers hope for peace.
We need to accept that the commandments of God aren’t just a long list of good ideas. They aren’t ‘life hacks’ from an Internet blog, or motivational quotes from a Pinterest board. They are divine counsel, based on eternal truths.
Salvation cannot be bought with the currency of obedience; it is purchased by the blood of the Son of God.
You live in a time of great challenges and opportunities. As spirit sons of heavenly parents, you are free to make the right choices. This requires hard work, self-discipline, and an optimistic outlook, which will bring joy and freedom into your life now and in the future.
Christ’s gospel is the only true gospel.
Latter-day Saints are not asked to blindly accept everything they hear. We are encouraged to think and discover truth for ourselves. We are expected to ponder, to search, to evaluate, and thereby to come to a personal knowledge of the truth.
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.
