Justice can seem to be so very demanding. But we must learn that when we put everything as right as we can put it right, it is Justice who invokes the Atonement, orders the adversary off our property, and posts the notice that his agents will make no more collections from us.
BOYD K. PACKER

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.

Like most things of great worth, knowledge which is of eternal value comes only through personal prayer and pondering.
BOYD K. PACKER

I have a hard time with historians because they idolize the truth. The truth is not uplifting; it destroys. I could tell most of the secretaries in the church office building that they are ugly and fat. That would be the truth, but it would hurt and destroy them.

Hard Hurt Times Uplifting
Arms now empty will be filled and hearts now hurting from broken dreams and yearning will be healed.

The atonement of Christ is not just for those who sin. The mercy of Christ encompasses all pain.

The house of the Lord, bathed in light, standing out in the darkness, becomes symbolic of the power and the inspiration of the gospel of Jesus Christ standing as a beacon in a world that sinks ever further into spiritual darkness.
BOYD K. PACKER

Darkness House Symbolic World
In the eternal scheme of things – not always in mortality – righteous yearning and longing will be fulfilled.
BOYD K. PACKER

Longing Mortality Schemes
The idea that life began with mortal birth is preposterous. There is no way to explain life if you believe that.
BOYD K. PACKER

Believe Ideas Life Preposterous
