“It was meant to be that life would be a challenge. To suffer some anxiety, some depression, some disappointment, even some failure is normal.”

Our lives are made up of thousands of everyday choices. Over the years these little choices will be bundled together and show clearly what we value.

If you are burdened with depressing feelings of guilt or disappointment, of failure or shame, there is a cure.

YOU ARE AN ARTIST OF THE SPIRIT Find yourself and express yourself in your own particular way. Express your love openly. Life is nothing but a dream, and if you create your life with love, your dream becomes a masterpiece of art.

Nowhere are the generosity and the kindness and mercy of God more manifest than in repentance.

Most of what we acquire materially is found to not be worth what we must pay spiritually.

I bear witness of the power of the priesthood given to the Church to protect us and guide us. And because we have that, we have no fear of the future.

One of the adversary’s sharpest tools is to convince us that we are no longer worthy to pray. No matter who you are or what you may have done, you can always pray.

Parents now are concerned about the moral and spiritual diseases. These can have terrible complications when standards and values are abandoned. We must all take protective measures.

Our whole social order could self-destruct over the obsession with freedom disconnected from responsibility; where choice is imagined to be somehow independent of consequences.

We could be like a father determined to provide everything for his family. He devotes every energy to that end and succeeds; only then does he discover that what they needed most, to be together as a family, has been neglected. And he reaps sorrow in place of contentment.

The choice of life is not between fame and fortune, nor wealth and poverty, but between good and evil.

The end of all activity in the church is to see that a man and a woman with their children are happy at home, sealed for eternity.

We are able to feel and learn very quickly through music, through art, through poetry some spiritual things that we would otherwise learn very slowly.

Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more.

You ought to know that the Lord loves you. He will make that known to you, and it will be a very private and individual experience, something you cannot explain to anyone else.

Keep the fire of your testimony of the restored gospel and your witness of our Redeemer burning so brightly that our children can warm their hands by the fire of your faith.
