“There may be some among you who feel darkness
encroaching upon you. You may feel
burdened by worry, fear, or doubt. To
you and to all of us, I repeat a wonderful and certain truth: God’s light is
real. It is available to all! It gives light to all things. It has the power to soften the sting of the
deepest wound. It can be a healing balm
for the loneliness and sickness of our souls.
In the furrows of despair, it can plant the seeds of a brighter
hope. It can enlighten the deepest
valleys of sorrow. It can illuminate the
path before us and lead us through the darkest night into the promise of a new
dawn.” The Hope Of God’s Light, President Dieter F. Uchtdorf.
To you young women I offer Elder Holland’s words:
“You can have sacred, revelatory, profoundly instructive experiences with the
Lord in the most miserable experiences of your life…, while endureing the most
painful injustices, when facing the most insurmountable odds and opposition you
have ever faced.” Ann M. Dibb, Your Holy Places quoting President Holland’s
devotional talk, Lessons From Liberty Jail.
“When hard things come, I think it’s easy to become
stagnant and not really want to move forward, but if you put the Lord first,
the adversities can lead to beautiful blessings…President Thomas S. Monson’s
words: Our most significant opportunities will be found in times of greatest
difficulty.” When You Save A Girl, You Save Generations, Mary N. Cook
Of all that I have read and taught and learned, the
one most precious and sacred truth that I have to offer is my special witness
of Jesus Christ. He lives. I know He lives. I am His witness. And of Him I can testify. He is our Savior, our Redeemer. Of this I am certain.” These Things I know;
President Boyd K. Packer
The Father and the Son are distinctly separate
beings, but They are perfectly united and one in power and purpose. Their oneness is not reserved for Them alone;
rather, They desire this same oneness for everyone who will, with devotion,
follow and obey Their commandments.” The Father and The Son, Elder Christoffel
Golden Jr.
I have learned a truth that has been repeated so
frequently in my life that I have come to know it as an absolute law. It defines the way obedience and service
relate to the power of God. When we obey
the commandments of the Lord and serve His children unselfishly, the natural
consequence is power from God- power to do more than we can do by
ourselves. Our insights, our talents,
our abilities are expanded because we receive strength and power from the Lord.
His power is a fundamental component to
establishing a home filled with peace.” For Peace At Home; Elder Richard G.
Scott
Satan does not want you to think you can change. He will try to convince you that all is lost,
that is a lie. You can return. You can repent. You can be pure and holy because of the
Savior’s infinite Atonement.” Be Not Moved, Elaine S. Dalton
None of us should ever underestimate how driven Satan
is to succeed. His role in God’s eternal
plan creates opposition in all things and tests our agency. Each choice you and I make is a test of our
agency-whether we choose to be obedient or disobedient to the commandments of
God is actually a choice between liberty and eternal life and captivity and death.”
Obedience To Law Is Liberty, Elder L. Tom Perry
“But we also knew that the Savior’s
Atonement would overcome and compensate for all the unfairness of mortal life
and bring us peace.” Personal Peace; The Reward of Righteousness; Elder Quentin
L. Cook
And the primary purpose of this priesthood
power is to bless, sanctify, and purify us so we can live together with our
families in the presence of our heavenly parents, bound by priesthood sealings,
participating in the marvelous work of God and Jesus Christ in forever
expanding Their light and glory. This Is My Work And Glory; Elder M. Russell
Ballard
