As we seek the Lord's help and in His strength, we can gradually reduce the disparity between what we say and what we do, between expressing love and consistently showing it, and between bearing testimony and steadfastly living it. We can become more diligent and concerned at home as we are more faithful in learning, living, and loving the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.
David A. BednarMany of the lessons we are to learn in mortality can only be received through the things we experience and sometimes suffer. And God expects and trusts us to face temporary mortal adversity with His help so we can learn what we need to learn and ultimately become what we are to become in eternity.
David A. BednarThe enabling power of the Atonement strengthens us to do and be good and to serve beyond our own individual desire and natural capacity.
David A. BednarOur sincere desire should be to have both clean hands and a pure heart - both a remission of sins from day to day and to walk guiltless before God.
