As we fear God more completely, we love Him more perfectly. And 'perfect love casteth out all fear'.
David A. BednarPurifying and sealing by the Holy Spirit of Promise constitute the culminating steps in the process of being born again.
David A. BednarI testify that the tender mercies of the Lord are real and that they do not occur randomly or merely by coincidence. Often, the Lord's timing of His tender mercies helps us to both discern and acknowledge them.
David A. BednarPeople of integrity and honesty not only practice what they preach, they are what they preach.
David A. BednarThere is no physical pain, no spiritual wound, no anguish of soul or heartache, no infirmity or weakness you or I ever confront in mortality that the Savior did not experience first.

David A. BednarAs we strive to align our attitudes and actions with righteousness, then the Holy Ghost becomes for us today what the Liahona was for Lehi and his family in their day. The very factors that caused the Liahona to work for Lehi will likewise invite the Holy Ghost into our lives. And the very factors that caused the Liahona not to work anciently will likewise cause us to withdraw ourselves from the Holy Ghost today.
