- May our hearts be touched and our faith increased.
Boyd K. Packer -The Reason for Our Hope
- Those who will repent and forsake sin will find that His merciful arm is outstretched still.
- Those who listen to and heed HIs words and the words of His chosen servants will find peace and understanding even in the midst of heartache an sorrow.
- The true success of the gospel of Jesus Christ will be measured by the spiritual strength of its individual members.
- We are at war with the forces of the adversary, and we need each and every one of us if we are going to succeed in the work the Savior has for us to do.
- Move into the future with quiet confidence.
Lynn G. Robbins -Which Way Do You Face?
- A Seventy does not represent the people to the prophet but the prophet to the people. Never forget which way you face!
- We seek respectful coexistence with those who point fingers.
- When people try to save face with men, they can unwittingly lose face with God.
- While it certainly takes courage to face perils, the true badge of courage is overcoming the fear of men.
- Courage is the form of every virtue at the testing point.
- I seek not for power, but to pull it down. I seek not for honor of the world, but for the glory of my God.
- If all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have the power over the hearts of the children of men.
Cheryl A. Esplin -The Sacrament--a Renewal for the Soul
- The sacrament gives us an opportunity for introspection and an opportunity to turn our heart and will to God.
- Obedience to the commandments brings the power of the gospel into our lives and greater peace and spirituality.
- Our wounded souls can be healed and renewed not only because the bread and water remind us of the Savior's sacrifice of His flesh and blood but because the emblems also remind us that He will always be our "bread of life" and "living water."
Chi Hong (Sam) Wong -Rescue in Unity
- Reach out to rescue.
- Everyone, every position, and every calling is important.
- We have to be united in our Lord Jesus Christ.
- Our faith will also affect the well-being of others.
- We can all help one another. We should always be anxiously engaged in seeking to rescue those in need.
D. Todd Christofferson -Free Forever, to Act for Themselves
- It is God's plan and His will that we have the principle decision-making role in our own life's drama.
- God will not live our lives for us nor control us as if we were His puppets.
- Resenting the law of gravity won't keep a person from falling if he steps off a cliff. The same is true for eternal law and justice. Freedom comes not from resisting it but from applying it.
- Personal accountability becomes both a right and a duty that we must constantly defend.
- It is God's will that we be free men and women enabled to rise to our full potential both temporally and spiritually.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf -Receiving a Testimony of Light and Truth
- It seems to be a trait of humanity to assume that we are right even when we are wrong.
- God cares about you. He will listen, and He will answer your personal questions.
- A personal testimony of the gospel and the Church is the most important thing you can earn in this life.
- If you want to recognize spiritual truth, you have to use the right instruments. You can't come to an understanding of spiritual truth with instruments that are unable to detect it.
- The more we incline our hearts and minds toward God, the more heavenly light distills upon our souls.
- Each time we willingly and earnestly seek that light, we indicate to God our readiness to receive more light. Gradually, things that before seemed hazy, dark, and remote become clear, bright, and familiar to us.
- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a place for people with all kinds of testimonies.
- The Church is a home for all to come together, regardless of the depth or the height of our testimony.
- I know of no sign on the doors of our meeting houses that says, "Your testimony must be this tall to enter."
- We do not condemn others for the amount of light they may or may not have; rather, we nourish and encourage all light until it grows clear, bright, and true.
- Most often gaining a testimony is not a task of a minute, an hour, or a day. It is not once and done. The process of gathering spiritual light is the quest of a lifetime.
- My dear friends, please do not delay the moment to seek and strengthen your own personal testimony of God's divine work, even the work of light and truth.
Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
-Sarnic Dirchi
