"The Divine Shepherd has a message of hope, strength, and deliverance
for all. If there were no night, we would not appreciate the day, nor could
we see the stars and the vastness of the heavens. We must partake of the
bitter with the sweet. There is a divine purpose in the adversities we
encounter every day. They prepare, they purge, they purify, and thus they
bless."

Pray!
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
(James 1:5)
"On occasion, some of our most fervent prayers may seem to go
unanswered. We wonder, 'Why?' I know that feeling! I know the fears
and tears of such moments. But I also know that our prayers are never
ignored. Our faith is never unappreciated. I know that an all-wise
Heavenly Father's perspective is much broader than is ours. While we
know of our mortal problems and pain, He knows of our mortal progress and
potential. If we pray to know His will and submit ourselves to it with
patience and courage, heavenly healing can take place in His own way and
time." Russell M. Nelson
I Know the Savior Lives
---------------------------------------------------
"As one of His Apostles, authorized to bear witness of Him, I solemnly
testify that I know that the Savior lives, that He is a resurrected,
glorified personage of perfect love. I witness that He gave His life that
we might live with Him eternally. He is our hope, our Mediator, our
Redeemer."
Richard G. Scott
"We need to raise our voices with other concerned citizens throughout the world in opposition to current trends…. Joining together with neighbors and friends who share our concerns, we can send a clear message to those responsible."

- The third member of the Godhead is The Holy Ghost. The standard for His constant companionship is clear:
If something we think, see, hear, or do . . . distances us from the Holy Ghost, then we should STOP thinking, seeing, hearing, or doing that thing.
If that which is intended to entertain, for example, alienates us from the Holy Spirit, then certainly that type of entertainment is NOT for us.
Because the Spirit cannot abide that which is vulgar, crude, or immodest, . . . then clearly such things are NOT for us.

"To live, we must have a faith to live by, a self fit to live with and a
work to live for"

"The excuse is given that pornography] is hard to avoid, that
it is right at our fingertips and there is no escape.
"Suppose a
storm is raging and the winds howl and the snow swirls about you. You find
yourself unable to stop it. But you can dress properly and seek shelter,
and the storm will have no effect upon you."
Does it Work?
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: (Matthew 7:7)
"The Lord has promised us that as we 'search diligently, pray
always, and be believing, . . . all things [will] work together for
[our] good'. That doesn't mean that everything
will be perfect or that we will not have any trials, but it does mean that
everything will be okay if we just 'hang in there.' Ours is the
opportunity to 'be . . . an example of the believers' (1 Timothy
4:12), and the Savior has promised that 'all things are possible to him
that believeth' (Mark 9:23). So believe in yourselves. Believe that you
are never alone. Believe that you will always be guided." I would rather live my life as if there is a God,
and die to find out there isn't,
than live my life as if there isn't,
and die to find out there is.

To all of you who think you are lost or without hope, or who think you have done too much that was too wrong for too long, to every one of you who worry that you are stranded somewhere on the wintry plains of life and have wrecked ...in the process, ...we call out Jehovah’s unrelenting refrain, “[My] hand is stretched out still.”(Isaiah 5:25; 9:17, 21) “I shall lengthen out mine arm unto them,” He said, “[and even if they] deny me; nevertheless, I will be merciful unto them, … if they will repent and come unto me; for mine arm is lengthened out all the day long, saith the Lord God of Hosts.” His mercy endureth forever, and His hand is stretched out still. His is the pure love of Christ, the charity that never faileth, that compassion which endures even when all other strength disappears.

"As a man thinketh in his heart so is he."
"You can’t think crooked and talk straight."
"Faith is like spiritual oxygen. As we allow faith to freely flow
within us, it awakens and enlivens our spiritual senses. It breathes life
into our very souls.
"As faith flows, we become sensitively
attuned to the whisperings of the Spirit. Our minds are enlightened, our
spiritual pulse quickens, our hearts are touched.
"Faith fuels
hope. Our perspective changes; our vision becomes clearer. We begin to look
for the best, not the worst, in life and in others. We gain a deeper sense
of life's purpose and meaning. Despair gives way to joy."
"The Lord has given us agency, the right and the responsibility to
decide. He tests us by allowing us to be challenged. He assures us that He
will not suffer us to be tempted beyond our ability to withstand. But we
must understand that great challenges make great men. We don't seek
tribulation, but if we respond in faith, the Lord strengthens
us."

"Through the infinite Atonement, God has provided a means whereby we
can both overcome our sins and become completely clean again. This is made
possible by the eternal law of mercy. Mercy satisfies the claims of justice
through our repentance and the power of the Atonement. Without the power of
the Atonement and our complete repentance, we are subject to the law of
justice." Elder Russell M. Nelson, a member of the Quorum of
the Twelve Apostles, joined other religious leaders in Washington,
D.C., to speak in support of a constitutional amendment protecting
marriage. "The sanctity of marriage and family constitutes the spiritual
undergirding of lasting and successful societies," he said.
"Faith is not bravado, not just a wish, not just a hope. True faith is
faith in the Lord Jesus Christ--confidence and trust in Jesus
Christ that leads a person to follow Him."
"The Prophet Joseph Smith [said] that he 'had to pray all
the time, exercise faith, live his religion, and magnify his calling, to
obtain the manifestations of the Lord, and to keep him steadfast in the
faith'.
All of us may expect some challenges to our faith.
These challenges may come in different ways. You may not always like the
counsel that the Church leaders give to you. They are not trying to be
popular. They are trying to help us avoid the calamities and
disappointments that come through disobedience to God's
laws."

'Awake, and
arise . . . , O daughter[s] of Zion'. He saw
you. He saw this day. These are your days! It is up to you to decide that
you will 'arise and shine forth.' I believe that as you awake and
arise, your light will be a standard to the nations, but I also believe
your standards will be a light to the nations. You are set apart. You
distinguished yourselves in the premortal existence. Your lineage carries
with it a covenant and promises. You have inherited the spiritual
attributes of the faithful--even Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Your
very nature reflects your divine heritage and destiny." (Elaine S. Dalton) |
